Does roblox have an array object?
I am making a music player and I need to store all of the songs id's. I know there are String Value but this cannot store an array.
How can I store the song id's which also need to be individual to the client/user?

So what your asking is that is it possible to put sound ids' in a StringValue? woodengop 1134 — 9y

StringValue has a limit (200,000 characters) each time a player makes any changes all of this data would then have to be read into a table then used and then converted back which will be a bad solution but it can be done. User#5423 17 — 9y

Lua has structures called Tables, which are more like Structs than anything else but behave like arrays when you want them to:
songIds = {1251366, 136134727, 125134, 1251366}
As for having different stored IDs for each player, the solution to that depends on what you're doing with this data.

Is there an alternative so that this is not in a script? ie The id's are not hard coded so that they can be changed? User#5423 17 — 9y

There is not, sorry. I assumed this was what you were asking about, since this site is called *Scripting*Helpers, after all. You could store the data as a JSON-formatted String, which only takes one function call to convert into a Lua Table. adark 5487 — 9y
