Can you do this?

local function Search(Location, Value)
if Location[Value] then
local status = “found”
return(status)
end
end

local SearchStatus = Search(workspace, Part)
print(SearchStatus)

Yeah, but you don't have to put status in parentheses/brackets. You can just do "return status". AntiWorldliness 868 — 4y

Yes, you can do this. Very useful for classifying objects, too:

function isItLimeGreen(thing)
    if thing.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green") then
        return "True"
    else
        return "False"
    end
end

local object = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Test")
print( isItLimeGreen(object) )
