How to limit the number of players inside this table?
This is something simple but I always get confused when it comes to table, here I made a script which will add the name of the players who clicks a button in a table, but I wanted to limit it to 5 players, how could I do this?
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Button = script.Parent
local t = {}
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
table.insert(t, 1, player.Name)
print(t[1].. " has been added to the table.")
end)

Hi Duke,
You could simply do this using an if statement. It would look something like this:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local button = script.Parent
local t = {}
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if not #t < 5 then -- If they are not smaller than 5
table.insert(t, #t + 1, player.Name)
print(t[#t].. " has been added to the table.")
end
end)
You can find out more about if statements here.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Hello DukeOfWorms! Try this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Button = script.Parent
local Text = script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel
local addedPlayers = 0
local t = {}
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if #t <= 5 then
table.insert(t, addedPlayers + 1, player.Name)
print(t[addedPlayers + 1].. " has been added to the table.")
addedPlayers = addedPlayers + 1
end
end)
When the button is pressed, it checks if the stuff in the table is less or equal then 5. If so, it inserts a player into the table with its index as the addedPlayers variable plus 1. Then it adds 1 to the addedPlayers variable. Hopefully, this helps. Make sure to accept this answer if it does.
