Hey, how do I insert something like [“Part”] = {Value = 4444} into a table via table.insert? I tried but it is an error and doing {[“Part”] = {Value = 44444}} print nil out.

Thanks for helping.

local Data = {

['Part'] = {Value = 4474,14,7777},

['Part2'] = {Value = 4474,14,7777}

}

table.insert(Data,2,['Part'] = {Value = 47265})

for i, v in pairs(Data) do

print(v.Value)

end

You don’t use table.insert on dictionary-like tables as function is designed to work with array-like tables. You can literally just assign them normally though:

Data['Part'] = {Value = 47265}

You Can Use rawset({a}, a[i], v) instead of table.insert({a}, a[i], v)

local Data = {
	['Part'] = {Value = 4474,14,7777},
	
	['Part2'] = {Value = 4474,14,7777}
}

rawset(Data, 1, {Value = 47265})

for i, v in pairs(Data) do
	print(v.Value)
end

Which is (aside from being raw) the same as
table.insert(Data, 1, {Value = 47265})

Exactly, That’s true.
