ok this is kinda hard for me to explain but, i want to insert a table path for example "clothing.head.hat" into table name: "player".

player is just a normal table: {} without anything in it.

i want the path convert player table into:

Code:

-- from player = {} to \/\/

player = {
clothing = {
head = {
hat = {}
}
}
}

how can i do this? i've tried multiple ways but i still cant get it to work.

thanks so much darkbyte, this works for me!

my code now:

Code:

local function setTablePathValue(tbl, path, index, value)
for _,v in ipairs(path) do
tbl[v] = tbl[v] or {}
tbl = tbl[v]
end

index = (index or #tbl + 1)
tbl[index] = value
return tbl
end

local player = {}
setTablePathValue(player, {'clothing', 'head'}, 'hat', 'MODELS//HAT5.TXD')

i just modified the function abit though, i think i might just use the key list right away instead of making a key string. Very Happy
