Referencing a variable with dictionary

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi

I was wondering how I could use a variable in the name of a dictionary. I will give an example.

local name = player.Name

weaponType  = {
    ["Penguin22305"] = Hammer 
}

print(weaponType.name)   <----- here the script thinks that "name" is in the dictionary when I actually
-----want to reference the variable "name". How could I do this?

Thanks

There is no index or key in your table “weaponType” that is named “name”. Instead, if you want to reference a key using a variable, do this:

weaponType[name]

3

Reference it as weaponType[name]
