Im trying to loop through this module I have and it keeps giving me this error
for i,v in next(DialogModule.Lines[v.Name]) do
print(i,v)
end
The Module
local Dialog = {
["Lines"] = {
["Olivia"] = {
["Hey what's up sis?"] = {
"Nothing much."
},
["Where is the school at?"] = {
"Stop playing around peter and get to school."
}
},
};
}
return Dialog
call next with next, t; call pairs with pairs(t)
A generic for loop’s syntax is:
-- controlVariable is optional, hence the square parantheses surrounding it
for ... = iterator_function, Table, [controlVariable] do
end
So you should be doing:
for i, v in next, DialogModule.Lines[v.Name] do
print(i, v)
end
pairs() under the hood is:
function pairs(tbl)
return next, tbl
end
Finally thank you it works and happy birthday
