Indexing printed table returning nil?

#1

When I do print(board[x]) is returns nil, which it shouldn’t. As you can tell from the print, x is 2, and board has 7 tables. Soooo, board[2] should return a valid table.

--// Check if position is available
local function Check(board, x)
	print(x) -- 2
	print(board) -- table
	for i = 1, y do
		print(board[x]) -- nil
		print(board[x][i]) -- error
		if board[x][i] == nil then -- EMPTY SLOT
			print("THIS POSITION IS FREE/EMPTY")
			
			break
		end
	end
end

[1] = {},
[2] = {},

[4] = {},
[5] = {},
[6] = {},
[7] = {}
}
nil
attempt to index nil with number

Can I see the code where Check is being called?

Is a bit confusing, but

Check(Board.Board, x)

And so ‘Board’ is

local Board = Games[boardModel]

Basically, when people join, I generate a table for each game

--// Generate the board
local function GenerateBoard()
	local Board = {}
	
	for i = 1, x do
		table.insert(Board, {})
	end
	
	return Board
end

--// Generate the game
local function GenerateGame(board)
	Games[board] = {		
		Seat1 = nil,
		Seat2 = nil,
		
		Turn = 1,
		
		InProgress = false,
		
		Board = GenerateBoard()
	}
	
	return Games[board]
end

So that’s why at the top ‘Board.Board’ is written like that.

check if x is a number and not a string
