How to use redis.call("mget") using lua

I have following scnario using lua with redis script

local valuesForMset = {"key_1", "0", "key_2", "0"};
redis.call("MSET", unpack(valuesForMset))

I would expect MGET key_1 to return 0 but instead it returns nil . I have already tried following as well

local valuesForMset = {"key_1", "key_2"};
redis.call("MSET", unpack(valuesForMset))

And result is same. Has anyone used lua for MSET? If yes how did you achieve setting key-value with MSET.

Thank you in advance.

You have not created a table with values, you have created the Lua equivalent of a set in this line

local valuesForMset = {"key_1", "0", "key_2", "0"};

To be a Lua table with key-value pairs it should be

local valuesForMset = {}
valuesForMset["key_1"] = 0
valuesForMset["key_2"] = 0

Your original code created a table with four keys all with the nil value.
