Lua TFS 1.4 Script Table and Texto

[lazarus321]

Hi all,
Does anyone know how I could do to present the text with all possible variations if my variable nx1, nx2, nx3, nx4, nx5, nx6 and nx7 is different from 0?
I tried to do this but it's getting too long and it's not getting all the variations.

local t1 = {}
    local t2 = {}
    local t3 = {}
    local t4 = {}
    local t5 = {}
    local t6 = {}
    local t7 = {}
   
    local rx1 = 4
    local rx2 = 7
    local rx3 = 1
    local rx4 = 5
    local rx5 = 3
    local rx6 = 9
    local rx7 = 2
   
    local nx1 = 4
    local nx2 = 10
    local nx3 = 0
    local nx4 = 3
    local nx5 = 10
    local nx6 = 0
    local nx7 = 50
   
    if nx1 ~= 0 then
        dt = 0
        for i = 1, rx1, 1 do
            local i = math.random(1,nx1)
            t1[i] = i
            dt = dt + t1[i]
        end
    end  
   
    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_ATTENTION, nx1 .. "x" .. nx1 .. " . " .. nx2 .. "x" .. nx2 .. " . " .. nx4 .. "x" .. nx4 .. " . " .. nx5 .. "x" .. nx5 .. " . " .. nx7 .. "x" .. nx7)

    local t7 = {}

    local rx3 = 1
    local rx4 = 5
    local rx5 = 3
    local rx6 = 9
    local rx7 = 2
  
    local nx1 = 4
    local nx2 = 10
    local nx3 = 0
    local nx4 = 3
    local nx5 = 10
    local nx6 = 0
    local nx7 = 50
  
    if nx1 ~= 0 then
        dt = 0
        for i = 1, rx1, 1 do
            local i = math.random(1,nx1)
            t1[i] = i
            dt = dt + t1[i]
        end
    end 
  
    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_ATTENTION, nx1 .. "x" .. nx1 .. " . " .. nx2 .. "x" .. nx2 .. " . " .. nx4 .. "x" .. nx4 .. " . " .. nx5 .. "x" .. nx5 .. " . " .. nx7 .. "x" .. nx7)

Not sure about it but probably using a function for generate the random value so rx will loop the number of times, nx the upper limit of the random value, something like

function valueOfRxNx(rx, nx)
    local t = {}
    local dt = 0
    for i = 1, rx do
        local randomValue = math.random(1, nx)
        t[i] = randomValue
        dt = dt + randomValue
    end
    return dt
end

then check each nx, inserting the values on the table (table.inster / table.concat ) and send the information to player example:

local resultNxRx= {}

if nx1 ~= 0 then 
    local dt1 = valueOfRxNx(rx1, nx1)
    table.insert(resultNxRx, nx1 .. "x" .. nx1)
end

-- Same for next one if nx2 ~= 0 then.. nx3... nx7

-- a message for show the result Nx Rx to player used a MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, in case just change it,
local finalMessage = table.concat(resultNxRx, " . ")
player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, finalMessage)
