How do you reference another value in the same table from inside the table?

#1 
local Table = {
    One = 5,
    Two = One + 3
}

How would I reference One while defining Two? I tried doing
Two = self.One + 3
but it didn’t work.

Is this even possible? Because I need this to make what I want to make.

You would have to either manually define the key outside of the table or make a method and set the key from there.

What do you mean by this?

#4

That you are asking is not possible at all. You should define your variables outside of the table and then add them to the table.

Ok, I found a workaround by defining each value individually

Table = {}
Table.One = 5
Table.Two = Table.One + 3

This might be what Omega or you said

Yep that’s one way to achieve what I mean.

I’m happy you found the solution :slight_smile: .

Keep coding!

By the way if I helped you, please mark my answer as a solution in order to keep the rules in Roblox devforum.

local myTable = {
   value1 = 10,
   value2 = function()
      local result = self.value1 + 5
      return result
   end
}

print(myTable.value2()) -- Output: 15

Yeah via method but that’s again after the table is defined. The function is called after that…
