what is the difference between the variable assignment
local newpos = {}
newpos.x = 1 ----- or --------- newpos[x] = 1
i know not what i speak but to me these seem to be the same thing if not similar?
newpos.x = 1 is the same as newpos["x"] = 1 that is they both set the value stored at key string "x" to 1.
newpos[x] = 1 is different. This is set the value stored at key contents of variable x to 1.
Try it and see.
local newpos = {}
newpos.x = 1
print(newpos.x, newpos["x"], x, newpos[x])
newpos["x"] = 2
print(newpos.x, newpos["x"], x, newpos[x])
local x = "var"
print(newpos.x, newpos["x"], x, newpos[x])
newpos[x] = 3
print(newpos.x, newpos["x"], x, newpos[x])
