How get access to a drop table items?

I have some code:

    var catalogs = ['cars', 'players'];
    var catalog = catalogs[Math.round(Math.random() * catalogs.length)];
    var tableResult;
    
    if(catalog == 'cars') {
        tableResult = server.GetRandomResultTables(
        {
            CatalogVersion: catalog,
            TableIDs: ["CarDrops"]
        }).Tables; 
    } else if(catalog == 'players') {
        tableResult = server.GetRandomResultTables(
        {
            CatalogVersion: catalog,
            TableIDs: ["SkinDrops"]
        }).Tables; 
    }
    
    var totalWeight = 0;


    log.debug(tableResult.SkinDrops);

Why I can't get access to "Nodes" field? I always need to type tableResult."name of my table". But I can't know in advance which table I will use. If I type tableResult.Nodes - it is wrong

Referring to the API reference: GetRandomResultTablesResult, property “Nodes” is nested in each table’s entry, therefore, you must first enter one of the tables before accessing its nodes. Besides, looking at your code, seems that there is only one table gets returned eventually, I don’t get why you were saying that you can’t know in advance which table to use. Maybe changing your code to the following can help:

var catalogs = ['cars', 'players'];
    var catalog = catalogs[Math.round(Math.random() * catalogs.length)];
    var tableResult;
    if(catalog == 'cars') {
        tableResult = server.GetRandomResultTables(
        {
            CatalogVersion: catalog,
            TableIDs: ["CarDrops"]
        }).Tables["CarDrops"]; 
    } else if(catalog == 'players') {
        tableResult = server.GetRandomResultTables(
        {
            CatalogVersion: catalog,
            TableIDs: ["SkinDrops"]
        }).Tables["SkinDrops"]; 
    }
    var totalWeight = 0;
log.debug(tableResult.Nodes);

In this way, you can access the “Nodes” field without typing “tableResult.name_your_table”.
