TFS 1.X+ TFS 1.5 8.6 Nekiro Downgrade

So I am running into a really weird problem with storing data in lua tables.

Pretty much I am creating monsters with a loop and adding them into the table. Then im removing the monsters one at a time with an onKill code.

When I print the length of the table its completely wrong. It should be: 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. I get random values each time for example: 3, 3, 2, 2, 0, 0.

Here is the code involved.

Monsters added to table here

for i = 1, #dungeon.monsters do
        if dungeon.monsters[i].count then
            for x = 1, dungeon.monsters[i].count do
                local pos = Position(math.random(dungeon.area.min.x, dungeon.area.max.x), math.random(dungeon.area.min.y, dungeon.area.max.y), math.random(dungeon.area.min.z, dungeon.area.max.z))
                
                while not isPosClear(pos) do
                    pos = Position(math.random(dungeon.area.min.x, dungeon.area.max.x), math.random(dungeon.area.min.y, dungeon.area.max.y), math.random(dungeon.area.min.z, dungeon.area.max.z))
                end
                
                local monster = Game.createMonster(dungeon.monsters[i].name, pos)
                DUNGEON_TABLES[uid].monsters[#DUNGEON_TABLES[uid].monsters + 1] = monster:getId() -- MONSTERS ADDED TO TABLE HERE--
            end
        else
            local pos = Position(math.random(dungeon.area.min.x, dungeon.area.max.x), math.random(dungeon.area.min.y, dungeon.area.max.y), math.random(dungeon.area.min.z, dungeon.area.max.z))
                
            while not isPosClear(pos) do
                pos = Position(math.random(dungeon.area.min.x, dungeon.area.max.x), math.random(dungeon.area.min.y, dungeon.area.max.y), math.random(dungeon.area.min.z, dungeon.area.max.z))
            end
                
            local monster = Game.createMonster(dungeon.monsters[i].name, pos)
            DUNGEON_TABLES[uid].monsters[#DUNGEON_TABLES[uid].monsters + 1] = monster:getId() -- MONSTERS ADDED TO TABLE HERE--
        end
    end

Monsters removed from table and print the table length here

local monsters = dungeonTable.monsters
    if monsters then
        for i = 1, #monsters do
            local monster = Monster(monsters[i])
            if monster and monster:getId() == target:getId() then
                monsters[i] = nil
                isNormalMonster = true
                break
            end
        end
    end
    
    print(#monsters)

Any ideas?

you are removing from random ranges and "#" works only for ordered arrays

local t = {1, 2, 3}
print(#t) -- prints 3

local t2 = {[1] = 1, [3] = 3}
print(#t2) -- prints 0

solution is to iterate the table to count elements or keep your numbers somewhere in variable

What a brain fart.
