How to create a table, and put it inside another table

Hello, I’m currently working on a waypoint percentage program where each part is assigned a percentage. I loop through each waypoint part inside a folder, and create a table for it. However, I’m not sure how to do this through code…

for _, waypoint in pairs(workspace.Cafeteria.Waypoints:GetChildren()) do
	--Create a smaller table inside the main table for each part
end

--Add that to this table as shown below
local waypointPercentages = {
	{Value1 = 100},
	{Value2 = 100},
}

Any help would be appreciated!

As I understand what you are trying to do, use table.insert:

local waypointPercentages = {}

for _, waypoint in pairs(workspace.Cafeteria.Waypoints:GetChildren()) do
    table.insert(waypointPercentages, { Value = "value" })
end
Please correct me if this is not what you are trying to achieve

This is correct, however when:

for pos, val in next, waypointPercentages do
	print(val[2])
end

it prints nil
(same with val[1])

Each table you added to the main table only has a single key of Value. You cannot pull a value from them with an index of 1 or 2.
