[Answered] BrickColor values used as a key in a table?

Asked by

I'm trying to pull a value from a table that's relevant to a player's TeamColor eventually.

My table currently looks like this:

local incomeTable = {
    [BrickColor.new("Camo")] = 10,
    [BrickColor.new("Sand blue")] = 20,
    [BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")] = 30,
    [BrickColor.new("Bright red")] = 40,
    [BrickColor.new("Nougat")] = 50,
    [BrickColor.new("Royal purple")] = 60,
    [BrickColor.new("Pastel blue-green")] = 70,
    [BrickColor.new("Cool yellow")] = 80,
    [BrickColor.new("Navy blue")] = 90,
    [BrickColor.new("Teal")] = 100,
    [BrickColor.new("Deep blue")] = 110
}

Whenever I try printing a value from an example BrickColorValue object that's in ServerStorage which has the value Camo,

print(incomeTable[game.ServerStorage.Example.Value]) --BrickColor is the name of the object.

I get "nil" printed to the output... obviously I must have the wrong key names in the table. I should be getting "10" printed.

I've modified the table to this too:

local incomeTable = {
    ["Camo"] = 10,
    ["Sand blue"] = 20,
    ["Bright yellow"] = 30,
    ["Bright red"] = 40,
    ["Nougat"] = 50,
    ["Royal purple"] = 60,
    ["Pastel blue-green"] = 70,
    ["Cool yellow"] = 80,
    ["Navy blue"] = 90,
    ["Teal"] = 100,
    ["Deep blue"] = 110
}

And got the same result as the table above...

Any help would be appreciated.

Not posting this in an answer because I'm not sure. Try the second example, but try converting the value in ServerStorage to a string using tostring(). Perci1 4988 — 9y
