Dictionary Searching comes up with no results?
I'm attempting to make a tool giver script, with the name of user's and their tools. If anyone could point me in the right direction, or even solve it yourself, that would be great!
--// added dictionary for addition of more people
local Dictionary = {
["IomharOBriain"] = "Poseidon's Touch",
["BonesMcClyde"] = "Champion's Trident",
["JamesMcClyde"] = "XelGuard"
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
for i, v in pairs(Dictionary) do
if player.Name == Dictionary[i[1]] then
print("success", i, player.Name)
else
print("fail", i, player.Name)
end
end
end)
end)

You want to get the first argument in the table only? Or find the name in the whole table? NotTheChara 191 — 3y

i dont see why you would need to do Dictionary[i[1]]. you can just do i instead. try it Zeuxulaz 148 — 3y

Correct, NotTheChara, I want to get the first argument only. And Zeuxulaz, I already tried it with i, and no change. loowa_yawn 383 — 3y

I think you should check each arguments to give the tool to the player? Although you can get the first argument only, it can only give the tool to IomharObriain. NotTheChara 191 — 3y

I don't really understand why you must get the first key in the dictionary, but I think this is what you wanted.
--// added dictionary for addition of more people
local toolsToGive = game:GetService("ServerStorage").ToolsToGive
local Dictionary = {
["IomharOBriain"] = "Poseidon's Touch",
["BonesMcClyde"] = "Champion's Trident",
["JamesMcClyde"] = "XelGuard"
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
for i, v in pairs(Dictionary) do
if player.Name == i then --We check all the keys and see if it is the same as the player's name
for index, tool in pairs(toolsToGive:GetChildren()) do --If it is, get the tools in a Folder named ToolsToGive within ServerStorage
if tool.Name == v then --If the tool's name is the same as the value name
print("success", i, player.Name)
tool:Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack") --We give the tool to that player.
end
end
else
print("fail", i, player.Name)
end
end
end)
end)
Explanation is inside the code block.

Why is there extra contents in the script included, although, it wasn't mentioned in the question? BestCreativeBoy 1395 — 3y

Well, I would recommend to clarify the doubts of the asker and help him and not feed. BestCreativeBoy 1395 — 3y

hahha, looking back on this two years later, sadly cringing at this sight of mess.
--// added dictionary for addition of more people
local SwordKeeper = {
--[[
["IomharOBriain"] = "Poseidon's Touch",
["BonesMcClyde"] = "Champion's Trident",
["JamesMcClyde"] = "XelGuard"
replace usernames with userids
]]
[110029109] = "Poseidon's Touch"
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
local PlayerSword = SwordKeeper[player.UserId]
if not PlayerSword then
-- player does not have a custom sword that needed to be given
return
end
-- .. give player their custom sword
end)
end)
