Get a free number (npc id)

[JeViCo]

Hello everyone! I have a list of numbers from 1 to 100 (ids of npcs). Player take a quest to kill one. How can i avoid the quest where 2 and more players have to kill the same npc? How can i get unused npc's id?

use tables .. 

insert the used id to the table and check that the id isn't in the table when a player try to take a quest 

ex .. 

local myTable = {}
addCommandHandler("q",
  function(p,_,n)
    local n = tonumber(n)
    if not myTable[n] then
      outputChatBox("number inserted to table .. ", p)
      myTable[n] = true
    else
      outputChatBox("this number is already inserted to the table", p)
    end
  end
)
