Why are these tables kind of 'replacing' eachother?

[Dan_E56 (Dan)]

You are better off using a for loop to merge multiple tables

Here’s the explanation why unpack won’t work:

What does unpack() do and why do I get different results?

In Lua, functions can return multiple values. They are not packed into one big data structure, unlike Python for example. def foo(): return "a", "b", "c" tpl = foo() print(tpl) # ('a', 'b', 'c') Python implicitly packs the results into 1 big tuple. A tuple in Python is an immutable list. In Lua however this is different. Tables are actually the only data structure in Lua. Multiple returns are not implicitly packed into a table. In your case, since unpack returns multiple things, your v…

Here’s one solution I found:

Combine Tables Together

[image] You don’t need to make this a module, you can reduce the code by returning a function instead: return function(...: {any}) local newTable = {} for _, v in ipairs({...}) do -- Note: Combining tables combines the tables in order for i, x in ipairs(v) do table.insert(newTable, x) end end return newTable end You should also mention this combines arrays only, as tables in Lua can refer to both arrays and dictionaries.
