Keep certain variables in a table?
Okay, so I figured out how to used tables to delete tools from char , and backpack, but what are the ways I can keep a certain variable in a table?
here's my code so far
01 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
02 | local char = hit.Parent |
03 | local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
04 |
05 | if hum then |
06 | local players = game:GetService("Players") |
07 | local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char) |
08 |
09 |
10 | local pack = player.Backpack |
11 | local findSword = pack:GetChildren() |
12 | for i,v in pairs(findSword)do |
13 | if v:IsA("Tool") then do |
14 |
15 | if v.Name == ("LinkedSword") then end -- part im struggeling with |

You could do an if statement then *nothing* else *something* end Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

Or if not statement then *something* end Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

Try using continue to skip to the next iteration of the for loop.
1 | for _, tool in ipairs(findSword) do |
2 | if not tool or tool.Name == "LinkedSword" then |
3 | continue |
4 | end |
5 |
6 | tool:Destroy() |
7 | end |
All I did was make your if statements into a single if statement that checks if any of the conditions are false. If one is, it will continue to the next iteration of the for loop.

Thanks! and if I wanted to ignore another tool, I can just add another tool name on line 2 right? for example if not tool or tool.name == "linkedSword" or tool.name == "otherTool" then etc... pie9909 18 — 4y

yes, but you can also put the names into a table and loop through the table's names R_alatch 394 — 4y

So from my understanding you are trying to ignore one of the tools. Here is the for loop that I rewrote to serve your needs.
01 | for i,v in pairs(findSword)do |
02 | if v:IsA("Tool") then do |
03 | if v then |
04 | if v.Name ~= ("LinkedSword") then |
05 | v:Destroy() |
06 | end |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
This simply checks to see if the tool isn't named "LinkedSword" In case you are wondering ~= checks if things are not equal.

Unsure if it's me but this makes it only target the LinkedSword, but i could use this also, thanks! pie9909 18 — 4y
