Converting string...?

Example:
PLAYERS[id].Class = "Rogue"
--When I press the first button in my menu, PLAYERS[id].SROGUE = PLAYERS[id].SROGUE + 1

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

--cut
		local playerclass = ".S"..string.upper(PLAYERS[id].Class)
		if (button == 1) and PLAYERS[id].SkillPt > 0 then
			PLAYERS[id] .. playerclass ..[button] = PLAYERS[id] .. playerclass ..[button] + 1
			print(PLAYERS[id] .. playerclass ..[button])
		end	
--cut

instead of this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

if (button == 1) and PLAYERS[id].SkillPt > 0 then
			if PLAYERS[id].Class == "Rogue" then
				PLAYERS[id].SROGUE[button] = PLAYERS[id].SROGUE[button] + 1
				print(PLAYERS[id].SROGUE[button])
			elseif PLAYERS[id].Class = "Warrior" then
				PLAYERS[id].SWARRIOR[button] = PLAYERS[id].SWARRIOR[button] + 1
				print(PLAYERS[id].SWARRIOR[button])
			elseif PLAYERS[id].Class = "Mage" then
				PLAYERS[id].SMAGE[button] = PLAYERS[id].SMAGE[button] + 1
				print(PLAYERS[id].SMAGE[button])
			end	
		end

You can try:

1
2

PLAYERS[id].Class = "Rogue"
PLAYERS[id]["S"..PLAYERS[id].Class] = PLAYERS[id]["S"..PLAYERS[id].Class] + 1

Is the cs2d even taking the first code o.O?

Try this it's a enhanced version form textual concept

LAYERS[id].Class = "Rogue"
PLAYERS[id][ playerclass ] = PLAYERS[id][playerclass] + 1

(sorry for the bad formatting I'm at my mobile right now)

No error but 'PLAYERS.SROGUE[1]' won't increase

local playerclass="S"..string.upper(PLAYERS[id].Class)
	if (button==1) and PLAYERS[id].SkillPt > 0 then
		_G["PLAYERS["..id.."]."..playerclass.."["..button.."]"]=_G["PLAYERS["..id.."]."..playerclass.."["..button.."]"]+1
		print(_G["PLAYERS["..id.."]."..playerclass.."["..button.."]"])
	end

Just a wild idea. Will it work? Lemme know.

print(PLAYERS.SROGUE[1])
PLAYERS[playerclass][1] = PLAYERS[playerclass][1] + 1
print (PLAYERS[playerclass][1])

try this.
you problem is that you try to form variable constructs into strings but then you´d need a load string (what textual context tried) but this is way to complicated for such an problem.

I can't print 'NOOB' because 'classskill' has to be first

Again, try it like this.
