 |
|
How do I go about create variable names out of dynamic elements?
Say I wanted to create 10 vars:
myVar_0 - myVar_9
Using a for loop how would I write this please?
Thanks in advance. |

it would proably be best to use a table for that
| Code: |
mayVar_ = {}
for i=1, 10 do
myVar_[i-1] = ""
end
|
im sure theres another way to do that but thats the only one i can thing of right now |

I don't think your can index an element at 0. It has to start at 1. |

You can start the script zero if you want but Lua likes to start it with a 1 if possible.
