How do I use _G to read tables?
I have two scripts, one a server script and the other a local script. I want to create a table in the server script and read it from the local script using _G. How do I do that?
Server Script (ServerScriptStorage)
_G.Inventory = {
BodyTypesOwned = {"defualt", "spiky"},
BodyColorsOwned = {"2", "3"}
}
Local Script (Player Gui)
for i,v in pairs(_G.Inventory["BodyTypesOwned"]) do
print(i, v)
end
for i,v in pairs(_G.Inventory["BodyColorsOwned"]) do
print(i, v)
end

Instances of _G are separate to each client and the server.
You can use a remote function to read from _G on the server from the client.
Server:
RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player, str)
return _G[str]
end
Client:
local tmp = RemoteFunction:InvokeServer("BodyTypesOwned")
local temp2 = RemoteFunction:InvokeServer("BodyColorsOwned")
