When I use this to try and fire __newindex from a metatable, since table.insert uses rawset, it wont fire the event. So I am trying new methods that will fire newindex. this one should insert the values, but I don’t know why it’s not.

Can you show me the code that it doesn’t?
Are you sure?
local t = setmetatable({}, {
__newindex = print
})
for i = 1, 10 do
t[#t + 1] = math.random()
end
This works completely fine
I thought adding elements to tables like that didn’t fire the newindex metamethod.
Using table.insert doesn’t, but setting values like that will fire it.
Oh yea yea yea, I got it mixed up sorry.
