My code is linked to a website outputting a json file (URL not proved for security), the json file and the code is below
Json file ``[{"Room":"Room","Name":"Name"},{"Room":"Room1","Name":"Name1"}]
Lua code (on a button)
hs = game:GetService("HttpService") local url = (removed, but working URL is here) script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() local var1 = script.Parent.Parent.Text -- A text box for an input local users = hs:GetAsync(url.."json2.php") print(users) users = hs:JSONDecode(users) print(users[1]) for i,v in pairs(users) do if v == var1 then script.Parent.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "True" -- this is a text label displaying if values are the same end end end)
The output(s)
[{"Room":"Room","Name":"Name"},{"Room":"Room1","Name":"Name1"}] table: 1B66DBA8
what I want: if the value of var1 is the same as any value on this table print the name AND the type of room they have (in this case)
Because you have received a table of tables. When you decode the JSON string, you get one table with two more in it. Try this instead:
print(users[1]['Room'])
And to properly index them:
local Table1 = users[1] local Table2 = users[2]
