How do you find a part from a table?
I have a 10X10 grid of parts, labeled with letters and numbers, like battleship or chess. What I am trying to do is take a table like this
local middle = {'e5','e6','f5','f6'}
local square = {'d4','d5','d6','d7','e4','e7','f4','f7','g4','g5','g6','g7'}
and then make all the parts that are not in the table disappear. I am not sure how to check if the parts name is in the table. Thank you for reading!

--tableContains returns true if the string in the partName parameter is in the table
--t: the table to examine
--partName: the string to look for
local function tableContains(t, partName)
local result = false
for i,v in ipairs(t) do
if v == partName then
result = true
break
end
end
return result
end
for i,v in ipairs(MyModel:GetChildren()) do
if not tableContains(middle, v.Name) and not tableContains(square, v.Name) then
v.Transparency = 1
end
end
