Thanks for the helpful answer trubblegum!

I have a table.

tbl = {}

It has some child tables.

Code: Select all

tbl.a = 1
tbl.b = 2
tbl.c = 3

I have a function that sets and prints the table

Code: Select all

 
function tblscan()
    x = b
    print(tbl.x)
end

This currently returns nil. Any idea how to make this work without setting x = tbl.b?

Thanks for all the advice, I'll just pass the parent table along with the child table in the function in that case!

Otoris

So there is no way to tell what the parent table is then?

I think I phrased that correctly... I didn't did I? Here is an example of what I'm trying to do since my programming is rusty: //Tables with Values Table1 = { innerTable = {} } Table2 = { innerTable = {} } //My function function CheckSource(table) if table == Table1 then STUFF elseif table == Table2...
