Detecting an item within a list the player has (in backpack or character)?
I want my door to accept variety of tools (ex. L1, L2, L3) whether it resides in their backpack or their character.
I tried this,
function open(player)
local card = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(acceptedCards) or player.Character:FindFirstChild(acceptedCards)
local other = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(otherCards) or player.Character:FindFirstChild(otherCards)
if card then
(opens)
elseif other then
(opens but in different way so it's important)
else
(denied)
end
end
end
but that only worked when acceptedCards was only one item when I want it to be multiple items which is the problem. Please help and thank you!

do you mean something like this?
if card and other then
print("both")
elseif card then
print("only card")
elseif other then
print("only other")
else
print("denied")
end
Think of and as you read it, if this card and other card exists then blah blah blah
EDIT: You loop through the acceptedCards table and check FindFirstChild for each of it;
local function isAccepted(player, cards)
for _, card in ipairs(cards) do
if player.Character:FindFirstChild(card) or player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(card) then return true end
end
return false
end
[...]
if isAccepted(player, acceptedCards) then
(opens)
elseif isAccepted(player, otherCards) then
(opens but in different way so it's important)
else
(denied)
end
Read about ipairs and pairs if you don't know what it is here

Sorry what I want is for the door to accept one of the acceptedCards which is supposed to be a list of names that can be accepted. The problem is the script I have right now only works if acceptedCards or otherCards is equal to one name. I want it to work if acceptedCards is a list or multiple names FoxAviator24 2 — 2y
