Hi, this must be a simple one - but I can't find any documentation about this....I guess there are, but sometimes it is sooo hard to search the net..

So this is what I want to do:

local levelAssets = {}
levelAssets[1].name = event.other.lhUniqueName
levelAssets[1].objtype = "COIN"

But that is not the right approach....I tried table.insert but that didn't give me any success either..

Best regards, Joakim

Try

local levelAssets = {}
levelAssets[i] = {}
levelAssets[1].name = event.other.lhUniqueName
levelAssets[1].objtype = "COIN"

The first one creates a table called levelAssets, the levelAssets[1] = {} creates a table in that cell.

Well,

I'm no expert myself but when I do business apps I have an external file with variables etc
