How can I check if a player has clicked a click detector before?
I have a button that enters a players vote and only want them to vote once, I'm tried using datastores but to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

It's better to use a table for this:
local playersWhoVoted = {}
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(playerWhoClicked)
if not playersWhoVoted[playerWhoClicked] then
playersWhoVoted[playerWhoClicked] = true
else
return
end
end)
I'm not sure what you want to do exactly, maybe you want players to only vote for one map and then you also want to tally the votes. I'm not going to answer how to do those because they're beyond the scope of the question.

Doing table[key] = value creates an element in the table with key and value. Line 5 creates an entry to playersWhoVoted with the playerWhoClicked being the heading and 'true' being the value of that heading. radiant_Light203 1166 — 2y
