}
local current_question = questions.EN.Q..math.random(1,10)[1]

I want to make the current_question variable return a random question from the questions table but it gives me an error; "attempt to index ? (a number value)"

Was it helpful?

Solution

You need to tell the interpreter Q..math.random(1,10) is one string like this:

local current_question = questions.EN["Q"..math.random(1,10)][1]
