[Question] How to destroy elements from a table

[kieran]

Hello, I know how to add, and get elements from a table, but I have made a GUI for a job script, when I click it triggers a function, and I want the clicked image to be destroyed once I click it and the function is triggered, code is below.

Spoiler

--Images

local image_name = {
	{"iron/iron_1.jpg"},
	{"iron/iron_2.jpg"},
	{"iron/iron_3.jpg"},
	{"iron/iron_4.jpg"}
}

local image_loc = {--location on the gui window (is messy, will fix it later)
	{0.1, 0.1},
	{0.8, 0.7},
	{1, 0.1},
	{0, 0.1}
}

image = {}--the table where images are placed into

function destroy_image()
	destroyElement(tostring(image[i][1]))--What am I doing wrong here?
end


--Create the images

function GUI()
	Iron_Window = guiCreateWindow(0.25, 0.25, 0.5, 0.5, "Iron Miner", true) --This is the window
	for i=1,#image_name do --places all the images from table
		local x,y = image_loc[i][1],image_loc[i][2]
		image[i] = guiCreateStaticImage( x, y, 0.25, 0.25, tostring(image_name[i][1]), true, Iron_Window)
		addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",image[i],destroy_image)--adds handler for each image
	end
end

 

Problem on line 20, debugscript 3 shows: Bad argument @ 'destoyElement' [Expected element at argument 1, got string 'table: 534E2AD0]

So obviously it got the table as a string, but how can I get the clicked image from the table? 

Thanks for the help once GUI is neat and working going to put script on community

What are you even trying to do here:
 

destroyElement(tostring(image[i][1]))--What am I doing wrong here?

the tostring doesn't make sense in this place, also why are you trying to access index 1 of the image?
 

just add 
 

destroyElement(source)

at the end of your MineIronGUI function

thanks @quindo, was thinking it would get the button instead of the image haha, makes sense now, if you want to get the button, you gotta declare it if you want to get the element, get the source.
