How would I convert an array of 1s and 2s to an array of 3s and 4s?

1 
local array1 = {1,2,1,2,2,1,1,1}

I want to turn this into:

local array2 = {3,4,3,4,4,3,3,3}
2

If you just want a program that does specifically that, you just need to fetch the index of the number you’re trying to replace and insert a new one in its position.

local array1 = {1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1} 

for position , number in pairs(array1) do
     if number == 1 then
        array1[position] = 3
     else
        array1[position] = 4
     end
end

This is accomplished by editing the same array, which I believe is what you’re trying to do? If you just want a brand new array, just use table.insert at the same order and it should work just fine as well.

This works, thank you for the help.

local function incrementValues(t, inc)
	for i, _ in ipairs(t) do
		t[i] += inc
	end
end

local t = {1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1}
incrementValues(t, 2)
for _, v in ipairs(t) do
	print(v) --3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3
end

Here’s a generic table value incrementer.
