I don't think I really understand but you could do like local strings = {} repeat (make new string) until not strings[(string)] strings[(string)] = true

No, you don't need to do this because strings in Lua are internalized, which means that Lua only ever stores one copy of a string.

mk thats not what I mean. Each string is assigned to a part, and each one needs to be unique.
