Concatenating table values

[Marth8880]

Is there any way to use concatenations in tables? :000000

I try this but no work!

[code] cis_pickup_flag_cue = cis_sndcue .. "com_report_pickup_flag"
cis_enemypickup_flag_cue = cis_sndcue .. "com_report_enemyPickup_flag"

}[/code]

And I try this but no work either!

Here are those rep_sndcue and cis_sndcue variables...

Edit: Wait, I didn't read properly...
You might want to ignore this post...

The rep/cis_sndcue are also in ObjectiveCTF.lua? Above the gSoundEventsCTF_src stuff?

Hidden/Spoiler:

When creating the table, why not fill it with just the values instead?
table = { "a", "tomato", "is", "a", fruit" }
to concatenate try
string = table[1] .. tostring(variablewithstringtoappend)
table[1] = string

Concatenating strings when inside a table works fine. That's not your problem, your first two attempts look ok. The problem is when it's in function SoundEvent_SetupTeams() it doesn't know what gSoundEventsCTF_src is. Either gSoundEventsCTF_src is out of scope or SoundEvent_SetupTeams() is called before you create the gSoundEventsCTF_src table.

Another issue that Locutus touched on, your rep_sndcue and cis_sndcue variables might be out of scope when you use them (but that's not causing this error). Set rep/cis_sndcue equal to "oops_not_1234_sound" before all (not each) of those if statements. If at some future date you see an error saying can't load oops_not_1234_sound audio then you know one of those if statements needs adjusting. That's better than initially setting them to nil and potentially getting a 'cannot concatenate nil and string' error and being lost as to why. Also, we can't tell if those if statements are in the proper place because you didn't post your full files.
