Check if PetName is in ModuleScript/Dictionary?
I made I post earlier today asking how to make a List in a script. After some help and some yt videos I now know that I can use a module script or a dictionary
now I got the next problem, this is an example of the dictionary I used
1 | local Rarities = { |
2 |
3 | ["Giant Dog"] = "SECRET" |
4 | ["Giant Cat"] = "SECRET" |
5 | } |
now let's say I have a pet inventory with 3 pets a "Giant Dog" a "Giant Cat" and a normal "Dog" dor example I want to make a script that checks if the name of the pet is "Giant Dog" or "Giant Cat" then it shows a SECRET tag on it here an example script of what I tried:
1 | Local name = PetName -- so the in name is the name of the pet that I need to find in the modulescript/dictionary |
2 | if Rarities.FindFirstChild(rName) ~= nil then |
3 | PetRarity.Text = Rarities.FindFirstChild(name) |
well ofcourse this didn't work
So I want to check if the name of the pet is in the Dictionary/module script but idk how

FindFirstChild does not exist on tables, this is why you index them, in your case you would do
1 | local Secret = Rarities[PetName] |
2 |
3 | if (Secret) then |
4 |
5 | PetRarity.Text = Secret |
[] is used for indexing the list
01 | local Table = { |
02 |
03 | 'cat' |
04 | ['key'] = 50, |
05 | 'cat2' |
06 | [4] = true, |
07 | } |
08 |
09 | Table[1] -- cat |
10 | Table['key'] -- 50 |
11 | Table[2] -- cat2 |
12 | Table[4] -- true |
13 |
14 | Table[1] = 'giraffe' |
15 | Table[2] = nil |
16 |
17 | Table[1] -- giraffe |
18 |
19 | Table[2] -- nil |
