How to compare intValue to a table?
I am working on a GUI that allows a player to select a character. When a character is selected before they are spawned a value is sent to an intValue within the GUI to track which character is currently selected. How would I go about comparing that intValue to the table provided below? Since intValue changes when ever the player clicks the character as a currently selected to bring up profile information, I'm assuming it would need a .changed:Connect
local t =
{
[1] = function() return game.ReplicatedStorage.C1 end,
[2] = function() return game.ReplicatedStorage.C2 end,
[3] = function() return game.ReplicatedStorage.C3 end,
[4] = function() return game.ReplicatedStorage.C4 end
}

Why do you need to compare it? In this case, couldn't you just write 't[intValue.Value]'? BlackJPI 2658 — 8y

Hmm... so I would just do something like intValue.Changed:connect... return(t[intValue.Value])? DaRtHSpeeDy 10 — 8y

To check for something in a table, you need to search for it's key, for example:
local table = {
[1] = true,
["entry"] = true
}
print(table[1],table["entry"]) -- would print "true true"
So, your code would be:
local t = {
-- entries here
}
local val = GUI.IntValue
val.Changed:connect(function()
t[val.Value]() -- calls the function
end)
Hope I helped!
