Can't get a string from a table

[TruestBlu]

local snd = {}
snd.__index = snd
self = setmetatable(snd,{})

self.allocateMaterials = {
	["Concrete"] = {"Conc", 5};
	["Fabric"] = {"Conc", 5};
	["Grass"] = {"Grass", 5};
	["Slate"] = {"Dirt", 5};
	["Metal"] = {"Metal", 10};
	["Sand"] = {"Sand", 5};
	["Plastic"] = {"Tile", 5};
	["Marble"] = {"Tile", 5};
	["SmoothPlastic"] = {"Tile", 5};
	["Wood"] = {"Wood", 5};
	["WoodPlanks"] = {"Wood", 5};
	["Asphalt"] = {"Asph", 5}
};

local materialAtt = self.allocateMaterials[args[1]] -- args are {floorMaterial}
print(materialAtt) -- this returns the table i want
print(materialAtt[1]) -- however this errors, i have no idea why.

I genuinely have no idea why this isn’t working.

What do you mean with “however this errors”. What exactly is the error?

I kept calling it while the FloorMaterial is air, meaning that there is no table.

HAH!
