How do I get strings from a module script using a script

I don’t wanna talk to much, i’m frustrated.

How do I print all the module children:

I’ve only used module scripts with user id’s, I’ve never used strings, how do I get the children.

#2

I know I’ve messed up the module, with that comma, i fixed it rn

In this instance you would print the index, “i”!

No ape, V is the object, I is how many times it looped.

#6

Nope, i is the index, try it out!

The only way it would print that is:

I’ve never known this, why is it built that way

Hopefully this helps:

local Example_1 = {
	"Hello",
	"Goodbye",
}

for index, tableString in pairs(Example_1) do
	-- index in this case would be the position of the data
	print(tableString)
--[[
	Expect Output:
	Hello
	Goodbye
--]]
end

warn('-----') 

local Example_2 = {
	["adios"] = "Goodbye",
	["Hola"] = "Hello",
}


for index, tableString in pairs(Example_2) do
	print(tableString)
--[[
	Expect Output:
	Goodbye
	Hello
--]]
end

Think of it like this

This table right here: local Table = {"Hi! :D"}

each string has a position, in this case the string “Hi! :D” would be ‘1’, when talking about table positions you use the word ‘index’!

If I asked you the string in the table below, with the index of 2, you would respond with “correct”

local Table = {
"wrong", 
"correct",
}

same thing goes with strings as indexes!

local Table = {
 ["Correct"] = true,
 ["Incorrect"] = false,
}

Hopefully after reading this, your knowledge of indexes in lua is Table["Correct"]
