How do I fix this table cloning problem?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have the following code:

-- FUNCTIONS --
local ThumbBase = {Subject = nil}
local Buttons = {}

local function CreateInput(name)
	print(name)
	local Type = PlayerData.Stats[name].InputType
	if Type == "Thumbstick" then
		Buttons[name.."Button"] = ThumbBase
		Buttons[name.."Button"].Subject = Thumbstick.new(MobileUi.Moves[name], name, Buttons[name.."Button"])
	end
end

function MobileActions:Enable()
	CreateInput("Primary")
	CreateInput("Skill1")
	print(Buttons)
end

It should work fairly well. However, and this happened to me before in other instances, when I add a new table to the already existing table, apparently all of the values of the parent table get changed to the new value??? Is this something that is supposed to happen? Can I somehow bypass this?

Note that in this example, after running

MobileActions:Enable()

Buttons is a table with two equal values on different keys, while these keys are supposed to have different values. I have tried to cut the “Skill1” line and it becomes a table with the correct value.

I don’t really understand what you are trying to do there?

#3

This is supposed to store data of the thumbsticks (for mobile support) in a table. The problem is the table, upon having a value inserted, is making all its members the same value as the new value inserted.

Also, I do not think there is anything in the other modules that could affect this one in this manner.
