I'm working with this:
chars = {
["Nigo Astran"] = "1",
["pantera"] = "2"
}
nchar = chars[$name] + 1
The variable $name
will give me a string that I'm logged in to, in this case: "Nigo Astran"
and nchar
has the value "2"
if I'm in "Nigo Astran"
, and so on. I believe you get the idea.
Now, I want to get the key from the value, for example:
when nchar
is "2"
it should give me "pantera"
as the key. I'm just not getting the value of the key.
If you find yourself needing to get the key from the value of a table, consider inverting the table as in
function table_invert(t)
local s={}
for k,v in pairs(t) do
s[v]=k
end
return s
end
