Here's what I mean:

table1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
table2 = {7,13,18,33,50}

-- when table1's value is 1, then table2's value should be 7.
-- when table1's value is 2, then table2's value should be 13.
-- I don't know how I should use the for statement like that. What should I do?

    local tableOne = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    local tableTwo = {}
    
    for index, value in pairs(tableOne) do
        tableTwo[index] = value * 3
    end

Is this what you want?

I'm not sure. But what I mean is:


table1 = {1,2,3,4,5}
table2 = {10,12,31,96}

-- if table1 is 1, table2 is 10, if table1 is 2, table2 is 12, if table1 is 3, table2 is 31.

Please try to understand this.

Can you please try and get some numbers to correspond with the ones in the first table so I can think of a formula?

Try this:

    local tableOne = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    local tableTwo = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}
    
    for index, value in pairs(tableTwo) do
        if value == tableOne[index] * 10 then
            -- Code
        end
    end

Think of it like this:

enemies = {22, 27, 30, 36}
level = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }

if the level is equal to 1, then there are 22 enemies. It's sorta like a wave.

But I want to keep it the way I'm doing it via tables

I can't really help you unless the numbers are compatible. For example, 22/22 = 1. 27/22 ~= 1.

sigh. It didn't work.
Here's my table names:
devils = {}
levels = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19}

for i,v in pairs(levels) do
for j,k in pairs(devils) do
devils[k] = levels[v] * 13 -- supposed to make devils equal each level by 13
print(devils[j])

-- I can't get the 'devils' table to work with levels...

    local tableOne = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    local tableTwo = {}
    
    for index, value in pairs(tableOne) do
        tableTwo[index] = value * 13
    end
    
    for index, value in pairs(tableTwo) do
        print("Index - "..index.." : Value - "..value)
    end

Output: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65
