Solved Random lever reset, check lever before reset. [actions.xml] [loops/tables]

The Forgotten Server, version 0.3.7_SVN (Crying Damson)

Alright, I'm terrible with loops, but I'm still trying to use them.
The entire script I'm trying to create will be, oh so much easier, if loops are involved.

The loop/function/action I'm trying to create is for all the lever's to be randomized, when a 'master lever' is used.
Before they are randomized, I also need to check the current state of the levers. Currently attempting to patch in..

if getTileItemById(pos[1], config.item).uid == 1945 then
   if getTileItemById(pos[2], config.item).uid == 1945 then
     if getTileItemById(pos[3], config.item).uid == 1946 then
       if getTileItemById(pos[4], config.item).uid == 1946 then
         doCleanTile(wall[1],false)
       end
     end
   end
end

But of course if someone knows a better way, please show.

For reference, this is the test area I'm using for the script.

The error I'm getting in the initial script is

[7:21:40.007] [Error - Action Interface]
[7:21:40.007] data/actions/scripts/aaCarlExampleScripts/random switch.lua:onUse

[7:21:40.008]  ...tions/scripts/aaCarlExampleScripts/random switch.lua:21: in function <...tions/scripts/aaCarlExampleScripts/random switch.lua:20>

This is the current loop (dare I say the word?!).
It's most likely hideous, but I'm trying.

local leverPos = {
   [1] = {x = 1562, y = 1497, z = 8}, -- top left
   [2] = {x = 1563, y = 1497, z = 8},
   [3] = {x = 1565, y = 1497, z = 8},
   [4] = {x = 1566, y = 1497, z = 8}, -- top right 
   [5] = {x = 1562, y = 1498, z = 8}, -- top middle left
   [6] = {x = 1563, y = 1498, z = 8},
   [7] = {x = 1565, y = 1498, z = 8},
   [8] = {x = 1566, y = 1498, z = 8}, -- top middle right 
   [9] = {x = 1562, y = 1500, z = 8}, -- bottom middle left
   [10] = {x = 1563, y = 1500, z = 8},
   [11] = {x = 1565, y = 1500, z = 8},
   [12] = {x = 1566, y = 1500, z = 8}, -- bottom middle right 
   [13] = {x = 1562, y = 1501, z = 8}, -- bottom left
   [14] = {x = 1563, y = 1501, z = 8},
   [15] = {x = 1565, y = 1501, z = 8},
   [16] = {x = 1566, y = 1501, z = 8} -- bottom right
}

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
   for i = 1, leverPos do
     local check = getTileItemById(leverPos[i]).uid
       if(math.random(1,2) <= 1) then
         doTransformItem(check.uid, 1946)
       else
         doTransformItem(check.uid, 1945)
       end
   end
return true
end

And for clarity, this is my actions.xml

<action actionid="45152" event="script" value="aaCarlExampleScripts/random switch.lua"/>

Alright, If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I've been trying for awhile, and will still be trying for awhile, but figured after a few hours it was time to get support.

for i = 1, #leverPos do

 

[Xikini]

for i = 1, #leverPos do

was that really all that was wrong?
What does the # mean? I thought it indicated a string.
Oh well I'll change it up when I get home.
Thanks!

leverPos is a table, # is used to check the size of something, in this case, your table leverPos

TL/DR Simply put, how can I make the levers flop back and forth?

Alright, so the loop is definitely working, however no matter what I try I cannot get all the levers to swap both ways..
I've changed it many times, but currently I am here.. and the lever flops back and forth, I get no error's when the script is loaded, or when the lever is used.
As far as I can tell the 'check == 1946' does not work at all..
But if I put 'check ~= 1946' then all the levers will flop over, with a 'chance' of course..

I don't understand why it's not working.

local leverPos = {
   [1] = {x = 1562, y = 1497, z = 8}, -- top left
   [2] = {x = 1563, y = 1497, z = 8},
   [3] = {x = 1565, y = 1497, z = 8},
   [4] = {x = 1566, y = 1497, z = 8}, -- top right   
   [5] = {x = 1562, y = 1498, z = 8}, -- top middle left
   [6] = {x = 1563, y = 1498, z = 8},
   [7] = {x = 1565, y = 1498, z = 8},
   [8] = {x = 1566, y = 1498, z = 8}, -- top middle right   
   [9] = {x = 1562, y = 1500, z = 8}, -- bottom middle left
   [10] = {x = 1563, y = 1500, z = 8},

         doTransformItem(check.uid, 1946)

if check.itemid == 1946 then
