"str" to str

[JeViCo]

Hello everyone! How can i transform a string to variable? For example i have "text" string and i want to make text variable. Is That possible? I need it for guiRadioButtonGetSelected

I know that i can make it with third variable but code become longer then\\

i think that you can't convert a string to variable

Well technically you could do:

_G["mystring"] = theValueYouWantToAssignIt

After that the variable mystring becomes available just as any regular variable.

Or you can use loadstring.

local value = true
loadstring("text = " .. tostring(value))()

@Megadreams hmm interesting, I didn't know that you could also make global variables like that.
