I need to access a certain table depending on the map.
So I tried to create a table like this for each map, so lets say I'm on gm_construct
[lua]
gm_construct = {}
--Table Stuff
[/lua]
And then when the server is loaded I tried to access that table like so
[lua]
for k,v in pairs(game.GetMap()) do
--Code
end
[/lua]
However I forgot game.GetMap() returns a string.
Would there be any efficient way to do this other than doing a bunch of if then statements like this
[lua]
if game.GetMap() == "gm_construct" then
for k,v in pairs(gm_construct) do
--Code
end
end
if game.GetMap() == "gm_flatgrass" then
for k,v in pairs(gm_flatgrass) do
--Code
end
end
[/lua]
Appreciate any help.
You could do it like this:
[lua]local map_tables = {}
map_tables["gm_construct"] = {}
for k, v in pairs(map_tables[game.GetMap()]) do
end[/lua]
Thanks a lot!

Don't forget to check if the index of that table is nil or not or the loop will throw you an error.
So I ran into another problem today and it's which tables again so I'd figure I would just post it here. I can not figure out how to name the index once I get farther into the tables.. I'll show you what I mean.
I made this table
[lua]
test_table = {
{{"pos a","pos b","pos c"}, {"pos aa","pos bb","pos cc"}},
{{"pos d","pos e","pos f"}, {"pos dd","pos ee","pos ff"}}
}
[/lua]
Which outputs this
[lua]
1:
1:
1 = pos a
2 = pos b
3 = pos c
2:
1 = pos aa
2 = pos bb
3 = pos cc
2:
1:
1 = pos d
2 = pos e
3 = pos f
2:
1 = pos dd
2 = pos ee
3 = pos ff
[/lua]
I want it to look like this
[lua]
gm_construct:
Team 1:
1 = pos a
2 = pos b
3 = pos c
Team 2:
1 = pos aa
2 = pos bb
3 = pos cc
gm_flatgrass:
Team 1:
1 = pos d
2 = pos e
3 = pos f
Team 2:
1 = pos dd
2 = pos ee
3 = pos ff
[/lua]
Now I know how to index the first name which would be test_table["gm_construct"], but how to I give the inner tables's index a name?
