Guessing a number?

[Tekken]

Hello,

So I have a table like this: 

local myTable = {thing1={},thing2={}};

for i = 1, 20 do
    myTable.thing2[i] = "something"..i;
end 

Those tables stores GUI images and I want to do something like this:

addEventHandler("onClientMouseEnter", root, function()
	if (source == myTable.thing2[?]) then
		guiSetAlpha(myTable.thing2[?], 1);
	end
end);

My question is, how do I know what "thing2" my mouse enters? is there a way to find out?

Cause I don't want long functions with tones of if this do that statements.

Thank you.

source is the gui your mouse enters. If you want it to become visible when you hover over it, don't do any if checks just use the source argument.

You can filter it, to the thing2, which is like:

for _, gui in ipairs(myTable.thing2) do
  if (source == gui) then
    --Do something
  end
end

Yeah thanks it worked.

But I already tried this and didn't work, not because I didn't had the right script but because I also have some text over the image and every time I hover the text the alpha changes. :\

Well... make a new table for texts and then it wont matter

Yup, is just that I just figured that out. Thank's anyway without you would've take me much more time to figure it out.
