| There is one last issue I didn't address. You have several options. The problem is that any missing key will evaluate to nil, not false. nil == false evaluates to false. Several options include...
1) Set taraaffliction to contain every affliction, set to false. Set them to true as you afflict, false as you know they're cured.
2) use NOT. NOT changes true to false and false to true. it also changes 'nil' to true. You would do that like so:
if tarafflictions[v] == false then
changed to:
if not tarafflictions[v] then
Either option works! | top |

| This is just one possible result:
venom_priority = {
"slickness",
"asthma",
"deaf_strip",
"sensitivity",
"powersap",
"blindness",
"relapsing",
"clumsiness",
}
tarafflictions = {}
tarafflictions.slickness = true
function doattack()
for k, v in ipairs(venom_priority) do
if not tarafflictions[v] then
Note ( "Venom: " .. v )
break
end -- if
end -- for
end -- func
Another possbility!
venom_priority = {
"slickness",
"asthma",
"deaf_strip",
"sensitivity",
"powersap",
"blindness",
"relapsing",
"clumsiness",
}
tarafflictions = {}
for k, v in pairs(venom_priority) do
tarafflictions[v] = false
end -- for
tarafflictions.slickness = true
function doattack()
for k, v in ipairs(venom_priority) do
if tarafflictions[v] == false then
Note ( "Venom: " .. v )
break
end -- if
end -- for
end -- func
In fact, you can put
for k, v in pairs(venom_priority) do
tarafflictions[v] = false
end -- for
In a function to reset the table.
For the first example, you can reset it by simply doing:

It refuses to call the tarafflictions variable. How do I make it call that variable that's called globally? | top |

I'm not certain what you mean. tarafflictions is, in the example, global so can be called from within another function/etc, or globally.
Can you give an example of what will not work? | top |

Your use of language is confusing me. You don't "call" variables. Are you saying the variable has a different value to what you expect? |
