you assign the string "mass" to test. that fails in pairs. you should get a lua error. enable errors.

Lua Code:
  1. local test = {"one", "two", "three"}
  2.  
  3. for i, v in pairs(test) do
  4.   print(v)
  5. end

I am still learning about programming but I wonder is the problem that you have a local table named mass and then you have a local string "mass" named test.

So when you are trying to iterate through the string variable test it fails as test is not a table.

Vrul has provided the actual answer.
