Trouble With Tables [SOLVED]

[ITISTHEBKID]

Code: Select all

	function love.load()
	A = {B = 0, C = 0}
	Z  = {A.B = 3,}
	print(Z.A.B)
	end

Why does this code spit out an error?

[veethree]

You need to define A as a table inside Z.

Code: Select all

Z  = {A = {B = 3}}

Do note that Z.A.B has absolutely nothing to do with A.B in veethree's solution; they are separate tables.

Is there a way to make it so things can go through Z into A?

Code: Select all

	A = {B = 0, C = 0}
	Z  = {A = A}
        Z.A.B = 5
        A.C = 7
	print(Z.A.B) -- prints 5
	print(A.B) -- prints 5
	print(Z.A.C) -- prints 7
	print(A.C) -- prints 7
