Good to see you have taken my advice from previous times.But the code for storing the item and then looking it up in a table.. Can you share that?

This is one of the easiest things to do in Lua.
Please, please, please do some research and attempt to learn Lua.

I'm going to assume he is hoping it will materialise from nothing. :P/>So in what format and where is the map in a file in a table where?

I'm guessing the player is walking around a map and you want to know when the player is at a "!" symbol on that map. So in what format and where is the map in a file in a table where?

I think I need to see what code you have already or look more closely at the examples I gave earlier.Yes that's what I want!
I have a function that draws the player character at its correct position.
I also have functions that update the players X and Y

Anyway then.. How do I store the map then.
(I'm kind of a noob)
This is one way to do it.

local function canMove( x, y )
return map[y]:sub(x,x) == ' '

One thread in particular comes to mind when you say that, and oh how painful a thread that was. :/posting a writeup detailing how a question-asker seems to be refusing help and studiously ignoring good advice.
