[HELP ME] Loop problem

[Simi23]

Hello!

I have made closely an entire faction-system, but i have problems with loops.

This client side script is for put the faction members and their properties in one table.

menuPlayers = {}
		
for i = 1, #memberUsernames do
	menuPlayers[i].name = memberUsernames[i]
	menuPlayers[i].rank = memberRanks[i]
	menuPlayers[i].status = memberOnline[i]
	menuPlayers[i].lastlogin = memberLastLogin[i]
	menuPlayers[i].active = 0
end

when i do it like this ^^ i got this error for the rows in the loop: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

But, when i remove the loop and try it for only the first player, it works:

menuPlayers = {}

menuPlayers[1].name = memberUsernames[1]
menuPlayers[1].rank = memberRanks[1]
menuPlayers[1].status = memberOnline[1]
menuPlayers[1].lastlogin = memberLastLogin[1]
menuPlayers[1].active = 0

Any help? Thanks.

It means one or more keys don't exist in one of your tables. I can't tell you which one unless you show you us how your tables look like.

memberUsernames is a table with all the usernames of the members eg {William Johns, Sergej Platnikov, Feliks Anyukov, Frank Williams, etc.}

memberRanks is a table, with the ranks of the members eg:  {1, 4, 14, 3, 7, 5, etc.} 

memberOnline is a table, with the statuses of the members eg: {true, false, false, true, true, etc.}  (true means online, false means offline)

memberLastlogin is a table, with the last logins of the members eg: {today, yesterday, today, 4 days ago, 2 weeks ago, etc.}

active can be 0 or 1 as a default, everyone has 0. Another loop sets the first 15 member to active, so the rendering part will know which members must be rendered. If the user scrolls down, the first member who has 1, will be set to 0. The first member who have 0 after a member who have 1, will set to 1.

Do I want to use table.insert?

When i do the loop, its not really showing the error to every row at once, only for the first. But if i remove the first row, the error will appear at the second, and so on.

Clarification.

menuPlayers = {}
		
for i = 1, #memberUsernames do
  menuPlayers[i] = {}
  menuPlayers[i].name = memberUsernames[i]
  menuPlayers[i].rank = memberRanks[i]
  menuPlayers[i].status = memberOnline[i]
  menuPlayers[i].lastlogin = memberLastLogin[i]
  menuPlayers[i].active = 0
end

Try this

It's WORKING !!! Thank you so much!

You're welcome. The problem was that you treated menuPlayers[ i ] as if it was a table already, but it wasn't.
