Tbl = {"ex","x"}
Is it shared to everyone? Because I'm making an inventory system made from tables. Thank you.

Is it shared to everyone? Because I'm making an inventory system made from tables. Thank you.
it belongs to everything in the server
Starkkz: No, Must be in a game. Example like when I add something on the table and I can access the table by pressing f2, but How do you do it for only me to see the added item to the table? I understand what you mean and what you want - you want a "personal" table for each player on the server. You can achieve that by basically creating a master table that in turn contains one table for each player.
Here's some simple example code:

inv = {} -- Create the master table
addhook("join","createinv")
function createinv(id)
inv[id] = {"ex","x"} -- Create the inventory table that's exclusive to player 'id'
end
addhook("serveraction","displayinv")
function displayinv(id,a)
if a == 1 then
menu(id,"Inventory,"..inv[id][1]..","..inv[id][2]) -- Show the player their inventory
end
end
addhook("leave","destroyinv")
function destroyinv(id)
inv[id] = nil -- Destroy a player's inventory when they leave the server
end
For example when somebody bought something on a shop then it will be stored on his/her inventory. But only he/she can see his personal inventory and the item he/she bought will be added to the inventory.

addhook("attack","additemtest")
function additemtest(id)
table.insert(inv[id],"item") -- Inserts an item into a player's inventory every time they attack

function init_array(length,mode)
local array={}
for i=1,length do
array[i]=mode end
return array
end
myowntable=init_array(32,"")
So, everyone will have their own var space, with value "".
You can access your table by doing this:
1
myowntable[1]="Testing"
So the player with ID 1 will have the value "Testing".
Dovahkin: The players don't literally own the array/table itself. It kind of just can be manipulated on the server-side however the clients connected to the server allows that manipulation to happen sort of say. A typical example for this is let's say a experience bar, the clients XP will be sent to the server-side Lua script hooks which will handle the experience seperately for each player. That's the best way I could describe it.@
EngiN33R: It'd be user-friendly to also add a check for if table exists or not and if tables doesn't exist the Lua function will create new table or if table exists it will simply tell it exists.I'll provide code for it as it's really useful.

tbl={}
function c_table(t,c)
if type(t)=="table" then
print(string.format("%s exists.",t))
else
print(string.format("%s doesn't exist.",t))
if type(c)=="number" and c==1 then
local t={};return t
else
print(string.format("Wrong parameter value %q. Try %q instead.",c,1))
end
end
end
--[[ This creates new table based on checked table if checked table doesn't exist. ]]--
tbl2=c_table(tbl2,1) -- Create table if table doesn't exist.
--[[ This checks if table exists. ]]--
c_table(tbl) -- Check if table exists.
KimKat: Thank you for helping. But how do you make a shop on that table. Seems a little bit complicated at newbie's

shop=c_table(shop,1) -- Checks if table exists already and if it don't. It creates table with name shop.
print(shop) -- The table named shop is now usable.
tbl={} -- Otherwise use this to create a table, whatever is preferred. There's many ways to accomplish things.
shop[1]="Value" -- Storing strings.
shop[2]=1234 -- Storing integers (signed or unsigned).
shop[3]=1 -- Storing objects (such as images).
shop[4]=tbl -- Storing tables within specific table indexes.
-- Learn Lua by watching some tutorials and you will comprehend it.
EngiN33R: How do you make the inserted item function like a button just like in a menu with buttons in it. Because the inserted items goes every button numbers from 1-9 and I can't make all 1
If button == 1
EngiN33R: a little help? or @ KimKat: one more favor. Please and Thank you
