Hi everyone, this is a follow up from my last question about fitting cards into a Frame.

I am using the global table (_G) to keep a record of all the player's cards. I have set up my player's card table like so:

_G.PlayerCards = {
	["Wild"] = {};
	["Red"] = {};
	["Blue"] = {};
	["Green"] = {};
	["Yellow"] = {};
}

I have another table in another script that contains information on all the cards in the game:

_G.Cards = {
	["Wild"] = {
		["Normal"] = {"",0,0,"Normal","Wild"};
		["Draw Four"] = {"",0,0,"Draw Four","Wild"};
	};
	["Red"] = {
		["0"] = {};
		["1"] = {};
		["2"] = {};
		["3"] = {};
		["4"] = {};
		["5"] = {};
		["6"] = {};
		["7"] = {};
		["8"] = {};
		["9"] = {};
		["Skip"] = {};
		["Reverse"] = {};
		["Draw Two"] = {};
	};
	["Blue"] = {
		["0"] = {};
		["1"] = {};
		["2"] = {};
		["3"] = {};
		["4"] = {};
		["5"] = {};
		["6"] = {};
		["7"] = {};
		["8"] = {};
		["9"] = {};
		["Skip"] = {};
		["Reverse"] = {};
		["Draw Two"] = {};
	};
	["Green"] = {
		["0"] = {};
		["1"] = {};
		["2"] = {};
		["3"] = {};
		["4"] = {};
		["5"] = {};
		["6"] = {};
		["7"] = {};
		["8"] = {};
		["9"] = {};
		["Skip"] = {};
		["Reverse"] = {};
		["Draw Two"] = {};
	};
	["Yellow"] = {
		["0"] = {};
		["1"] = {};
		["2"] = {};
		["3"] = {};
		["4"] = {};
		["5"] = {};
		["6"] = {};
		["7"] = {};
		["8"] = {};
		["9"] = {};
		["Skip"] = {};
		["Reverse"] = {};
		["Draw Two"] = {};
	};
}

Now, I want to be able to use these tables together and use the player's cards table to copy a base ImageLabel (card) from inside the script and set it's values accordingly using the values in the table.

Firstly, I would like to ask if the way I'm going about this is efficient. Is there any easier way of doing this, and if so, how would I go about incorporating it?

Secondly, how could I avoid the script making duplicate cards? I was looking to put in a unique identifier for each card and compare it to the cards already in the players but I don't know where I'd put the unique identifier.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Second question: I don't know what you have set up but couldn't you simply do something like 'repeat [get new card] until [ not deck:FindFirstChild(card)]' (with everything inside the brackets signifying what to do)?

I want to have more of the same cards, but I don't want the whole hand to be created twice. I was using a for loop to get the items in my multidimensional array and clone a base ImageLabel and set values in it using the data in the array. I feel like I'm over-complicating it, though.
