Accesing tables within tables

[tolkien]

One simple question:

Can I have a table
t1 = {boo = true, foo = false]

include that table within another table

t2 = {x=0, y=0, t1}

???

How do access to all members in t2?

Hope you understand.

Yes you can.

But if you wish to do it the way you arew doing in example, you need to do the second table in way of

t2 = {x=0, y=0, t1 = t1 }

Access to t1 would be:

t2.t1.boo
t2.t1.foo


you can have as many table dimensions as you like, and you can also assign them at once. say:

Code: Select all

table = {
     [t2] = {
             [t3] = {
                       [t4] = {   message="hello"   }
                    }
            }
      }


debugprint( table[t2][t3][t4].x  )

this should result in "Hello" being printed.
