How can I check an array inside an index? [{4, 8}] to confirm if 'vocation' aka 8 exists?
local outfits = { [7995] = { [{1, 5}] = {94210, 1}, [{2, 6}] = {94210, 1}, [{3, 7}] = {94210, 1}, [{4, 8}] = {94210, 1} } } local item = 7995 local vocation = 8 if outfits[item] then local index = outfits[item] --for i = 1, #index do -- for n = 1, #index[i] -- if index[i] -- ???? end You just need to iterate using pairs rather than a basic for loop. With pairs you get your key value pairs and can then loop over the key to inspect it's contents.
local found = 0 if outfits[item] then local value = outfits[item] for k, v in pairs(value) do for n = 1, #k do if k[n] == vocation then found = k break; end end end end print(outfits[item][found][1]) That said this is not the a very efficient method of storing values for look up and wont scale well for larger groups of record.
