Im on a friends computer right now so I can't see on studio for myself. Example: for i,v in pairs (randomtable ???) do if v.Name == "NPC_SpawnPoint" then wait(.1) game.ServerStorage.NPC3.Torso.CFrame = v.CFrame end end

Alright, an example would be something such as, for Anything,AnythingElse in pairs(Workspace:GetChildren()) do print(AnythingElse) end "Workspace" is really just a table. ":GetChildren()" retrieves the entire table. "Anything" is the numerical order of the children within the table while "AnythingElse" is the actual child within the table.

pairs( table ) Already goes through all the variables of a table. For example, for k, v in pairs({"apple", orange = true, [4] = "banana"}) do print(k, v) end > 1 apple > orange true > 4 banana
