How do I print whats inside of a table

–// Lets label our tables first
–// Table 1 - The Primary Table | Dealers
–// Table 2 - Inside the primary table | Vehicles

  1. What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to make a somewhat close fully automated car spawn system for adding new dealers then adding all those vehicles inside of it

  2. What is the issue? I can get it to print the dealers but not the vehicles as it would print nil.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried doing a few real time help in Hidden Developers and a few other disc but they usually ended up ignoring me.
    But for solutions for the Dealer printing I would do a for i do through the entire module script

Module Script

local VehiclesSpawners = {}

VehiclesSpawners.Spawner1 = { -- It prints these
	Vehicle1 = { -- But not whats in here which I dunno what to do ;(
		ClickDetector = game.Workspace, -- Location of interaction
		VehicleLocation = game.ServerStorage, -- Vehicle Storage location
		Vehicle_Name = "", -- Vehicle Name
		Vehicle_Description = "", -- Description of vehicle
		Vehicle_Price = 0 -- Not needed for now as vehicles wont have a price
	},
	
	Vehicle2 = {
		ClickDetector = game.Workspace, -- Location of interaction
		VehicleLocation = game.ServerStorage, -- Vehicle Storage location
		Vehicle_Name = "", -- Vehicle Name
		Vehicle_Description = "", -- Description of vehicle
		Vehicle_Price = 0 -- Not needed for now as vehicles wont have a price
	},
	
	Vehicle3 = {
		ClickDetector = game.Workspace, -- Location of interaction
		VehicleLocation = game.ServerStorage, -- Vehicle Storage location
		Vehicle_Name = "", -- Vehicle Name
		Vehicle_Description = "", -- Description of vehicle
		Vehicle_Price = 0 -- Not needed for now as vehicles wont have a price
	}
}

VehiclesSpawners.Spawner2 = {
	Vehicle1 = {
		ClickDetector = game.Workspace, -- Location of interaction
		VehicleLocation = game.ServerStorage, -- Vehicle Storage location
		Vehicle_Name = "", -- Vehicle Name
		Vehicle_Description = "", -- Description of vehicle
		Vehicle_Price = 0 -- Not needed for now as vehicles wont have a price
	},
	
	Vehicle2 = {
		ClickDetector = game.Workspace, -- Location of interaction
		VehicleLocation = game.ServerStorage, -- Vehicle Storage location
		Vehicle_Name = "", -- Vehicle Name
		Vehicle_Description = "", -- Description of vehicle
		Vehicle_Price = 0 -- Not needed for now as vehicles wont have a price
	},
	
	Vehicle3 = {
		ClickDetector = game.Workspace, -- Location of interaction
		VehicleLocation = game.ServerStorage, -- Vehicle Storage location
		Vehicle_Name = "", -- Vehicle Name
		Vehicle_Description = "", -- Description of vehicle
		Vehicle_Price = 0 -- Not needed for now as vehicles wont have a price
	}
}


return VehiclesSpawners

Printing Script

local Script = script.Parent.ModuleScript
local Require = require(Script)

for i, PrintRequires in pairs(Require) do
-- Create Car Dealer
	local MainFolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.Workspace)
	MainFolder.Name = i
end```

You can do something along the lines of this:

for i, PrintRequires in pairs(Require.Spawner1) do --Spawner1 is the name of your table in the module
    -- code here
end

So spawner1 Is the name of one of the “Testing” Dealers I’ve made it create a folder of each “Dealer” In the script and currently that part work. My next achievement which is what I made this post for is trying to figure out how to automatically list all the vehicles inside of the Dealers!

You can just keep iteration until you get to the end:

for _, Table in pairs(Require) do
    for _, Item in pairs(Table) do
        print(Item) -- Prints the item in the second table
    end
end

Heyy, Thanks I got it. When I first did it for some reason It was printing nil which was odd but It works now Screenshot by Lightshot

If you’re trying to print a table only for debugging purposes, I recommend you activate the Expressive Output Window beta.
Hence, a single print(MyTable) will show the entire table.
