I am total noob. Trying to figure out how to use array values. Tried myself but couldn't find any solution. Please help a noob! 

x = {false, true, false, false, true, false, true, true}
bethigh = -- How to get [x] sequence ??


Have you looked at https://www.lua.org/pil/11.1.html?

you access an item from the array using x[index] (for example x[1])

How you decide which index to access depends on you and your code.

why below code is not working?

x = {false, true, false, false, true, false, true, true}
    i     = i+1
    for i = 0, 7 do
        x[i] = 0
    end
    bethigh = x


only changes once high to low or vice versa 

x = {false, true, false, false, true, false, true, true}
    for i = 0, 7 do
        z = x[i]
    end
bethigh = z

What all this?
I was trying to optimize this code and you made it more complex

hilo = 1
function dobet()

if hilo==1 then
bethigh = false
hilo = 2
end

if hilo==2 then
bethigh = true
hilo = 3
end

if hilo==3 then
bethigh = false
hilo = 4
end

if hilo==4 then
bethigh = false
hilo = 5
end

if hilo==5 then
bethigh = true
hilo = 6
end


if hilo==6 then
bethigh = false
hilo = 7
end

if hilo==7 then
bethigh = true
hilo = 8
end

if hilo==8 then
bethigh = true
hilo = 1
end

Last one doesn't work this way

Code: [Select]

x = {false, true, false, false, true, false, true, true}
    for i = 0, 7 do
        z = x[i]
    end
bethigh = z

someone explain why it is not working in array sequence

I'm not sure if you solved this already.  Your for loop is probably working fine, but it is looping to the end and giving you the last result.  since the dicebot executues the dobet function in a loop already you don't really need another loop, you just need a way to iterate through your array.

for example you could use a couple if statements and a counter.


count += 1
x = {false, true, false, false, true, false, true, true}

if count >= 8 then
    count = 0
end
   
bethigh = x[count]


this should iterate through your array and reset once the count hits 8 "the number of elements in your array"
