Turning table value into variables

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I wanna get this table value as a variable but it doesn’t work.

local Table = {}
local InsertedValue = table.insert(Table,"Test")
table.remove(InsertedValue,table.find(Table,InsertedValue))

“InsertedValue” is nil

InsertedValue shouldn’t be a variable because that’s the function of inserting “Test” inside the table which doesn’t return anything. You can instead do this:

local Table = {}
table.insert(Table,"Test")
table.remove(Table,table.find(Table,"Test"))

Yea I already know that but I plan on having multiple values in one table which will be called “Test” for some reasons so I wanna be able to single this out

Gotcha are you trying to do something like this:

local Tab = {}

local function InsertValue(Value)
	table.insert(Tab, Value)
	
	return Tab[table.find(Tab,Value)]
end

local InsertedValue = InsertValue("Test")
local AnotherInsertedValue = InsertValue("Test")

Is this correct?

#5

You can’t save table descendents as variables because you call them as table[index], but you can find variables by using table.find() if you wanna retrieve the value again.
