So what i have tried is to make an array (because i want tons of questions) but i also need for that question that there is giving aka the things the answers will give like +10 happy or smth, so i tried making an array in array so that it could choose a random question while also having propertys that will be given (i didnt explain that well sorry) but bassicly that didnt work so i searched and searched and searched i thought the best thing to do is make alot of arrays to hold a ton of items but i didnt want to make 500 arrays to store a million items so i tried dictionary but i just couldnt figure it out, i really need this i really dont want another project to go to the dumps, i really hate asking like this but i really cant find anything that can help, please

Something like this? Array of objects

local questions = {
{ question = "question text here", answers = { "yes", "no" } }
}

In that case,

local questions = {
{ question = "question text here", answers = { {"yes", 10}, {"no", -10} } }
}

where the 1st member in the array of answers is the answer text, and the 2nd member is the amount of stat to give

Yeah, it’s an array, its indices are numbers

Here is an example on how i would atleast try to do it:

local dictionary = {
  [1]= {
    Question = "Do you like me?",
    Answers = {{"Yes i do!",10},{"No i dont",-10}}
  }
}

local function getQuestion()
  local chosenQuestionArray = math.random(1,#dictionary)
  local chosenQuestion = chosenQuestionArray.Question
  local chosenAnswers = chosenQuestionArray.Answers
 -- and so on i think you get it
end

You can use a loop in answers so that it auto creates the boxes for every answer there is with the value.
Im unsure if this is syntax correctly so lmk

I recommend going OOP with this and make a class that constructs questions then putting them in an array to make it easier.
