Obsolete; throws an error if called.

table.setn(table, n)

Arguments

table

Table - The table to be changed.

n

number - New table size.

Details

• Lua 5.0 had no length operator; instead, the size of arrays could be acquired through table.getn(t), which returned t.n if it that key was set. This function would explicitly set that key.
• In WoW, this function throws a "'setn' is obsolete" error when called.
