How do I add a method to the table type? I\'m trying to write a method that searches through the values of a table. So far I have.

Answer 1

There is no single metatable for all tables. Unlike strings and numbers, each table has its own individual metatable.

Just make a free function instead of a "member" function for these kinds of things. Not everything needs to be all OOP with : and such.
