Help

I am fairly new to LUA and I am trying to make a command that will give the player who typed it a random event to do. Like if they type the command (/pevent is what I made it) It would give them a random event out of a list I made. I tried different things and googled basic LUA tutorials but I cant figure out how to make this. I would post the code, but I have a feeling it is completely wrong, any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Didn't you already make this thread?

Guessing he put it in Programming, and meant for it to be in here.

Ron Tim, next time, just ask a Moderator/Supervisor/Manager to move your thread, there's no need to recreate it.

 

Code:

local table = {"event a", "event b", "event c", "event d"}

local random = table.Random(table)
print(random)

Is the basic stuff.

 

I did that and it said attempt to call field 'Random' < a nil value> ( Yes, I set it up in the command format)

 

Tru used a bad example. The variable should not be called "table" as it will conflict with the global variable with the same name.

 

Thanks a ton, I changed the variable to table2 and now it works like a charm (Thanks tru as well for the original set-up)
