Not running through the full loop

end

Everything's working. But when the loop in the main() function starts, it DOES do the stuff i made it do(the test thing) but it wont launch the function I called in it.

If that's hard to understand maybe try the mod. see what i mean.

The table isn't messed up, because in the first part of the loop, that works, and it calls everything on that table. But it seems that the function I called in the loop isn't being executed.

Simple mistake, you tried to print a table.
TextPrintString("SELECT ARENA\n<"..areas[areaSelectionIndex]..">", 0, 1)

Perhaps you meant to do this:
TextPrintString("SELECT ARENA\n<"..areas[areaSelectionIndex].name..">", 0, 1)

I notice that you make the script wait for 0.1 seconds after one of the selection buttons are pressed. This I assume would lead to a delay before showing the arena. You should consider calling wait at the end of the if statement instead.

I notice this chunk of code being used multiple times, think about giving it its own function to make the script look a little neater. Perhaps call it F_InitializeArena or F_SetupArena:
  AreaTransitionXYZ(areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookA, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookX, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookY, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookZ)
  CameraSetXYZ(areas[areaSelectionIndex].camSetX, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camSetY, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camSetZ)
  CameraLookAtXYZ(areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookX, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookY, areas[areaSelectionIndex].camLookZ)
  SoundPlayStream(areas[areaSelectionIndex].music..".rsm", 0.5)

Other than that the script looks alright. Is it going to be something like Fight Club?

OMFG YOU'RE RIGHT...

Yeah I am aware of how those tables work like that.

BUT when i started typing the code, the table was originally just NAMES, it was like this:

table = {
"thing1",
"thing2",
}

it was like that. and i dunno what its gonna be. it has an area selector i know that.

It would be cool to do that but im not tryna copy ur ideas. so i gotta think.

My MAIN idea, or first idea was to just have a random ped from the full ped list, high af stats and u have regular stats. since jimmy is so OP u gotta keep fighting 1v1 till ur ded. but idk that sounds like shiet.

Make a few modes possibly, have fun with it.

A mode with just 1 strong boss like you said, maybe a survival mode were enemies just come in, a level based thing like fight club, and idk be creative.
