-- Description: This program is for use with the Technical Training custom map. This is the main program for

-- Variable Definition
StopNames = { "Stop1" , "Stop2" , "Stop3" , "Stop4" , "Stop5" , "Stop6" , "Stop7" }

Stop1 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }			 -- Currently all these tables are equal and contain nothing,
Stop2 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }			 -- but they will change as the program is completed.
Stop3 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }
Stop4 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }
Stop5 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }
Stop6 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }
Stop7 = { in = {} , available = {} , out = {} }


--Functions

function assignment()					   -- Determines the assignment given for completion.
local StopsLeft = 5					 -- # of Stops assigned per run.
local Temp = Stops					  -- Creation of temporary Stops list copy for modification.
local Jobstop = {}					  -- List of Stops for job to be assigned.

for i = 1, StopsLeft do
val = math.random(1, #Temp)				  -- Computes random index value from list of locations.
local Jobstop[i] = table.remove(Temp, val)   -- Removes indexed value from Temp and places in Jobstop list.
end

for i = 1, StopsLeft do
table.insert( Stop1[3].out[#Stop1[2].out + 1],  table.remove(Stop1[2], math.random(0,4) )			  -- Will this work properly and can it be automated for each value generated in Jobstop?
end

end

function reward()		-- Determines reward received when completed.

end

function checkcomplete() -- Checks for completion of required task.

First question: Can I concatenate a string stored in a table to form an already existing variable for manipulation? Example of what I want to do:

Table = { Stop1, Stop2, Stop3 }
Table[2] .. Incoming = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
Table[2] .. Outgoing = [ 2, 4, 5, 7 ]

I'm currently looking through the wiki and Lua documentation for an answer. Basically I'd like to have an easy way to call variables and insert things into the Stop2Incoming and Stop2Outgoing tables as it loops.

use table.insert(data, table)

use table.insert(data, table)

that's what I was planning to do, but can i do something like table.insert(3, Table[2] .. "Incoming" )?

Is this what you're looking for?

stops = {
   {
	   out = {
		   1;
		   2;
		   5;
	   };
	   in = {
		   11;
	   };
   };
   {
	   out = {
			 3;
			 7;
		};
		in = {
			 9;
		};
	};
}

stops = {
   {
	   out = {
		   1;
		   2;
		   5;
		   2;	  -- New value inserted
	   };
	   in = {
		   11;
	   };
   };
   {
	   out = {
			 3;
			 7;
		};
		in = {
			 9;
		};
	};
}

To change it you would do stops[1].out = {1, 3, 4}. Or you could do stops[1].out[1] = 7.
