Is it possible to create a table for a specific player without doing the following?
local Table1 = { }
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
Table1[player] = { }
end)
or
--In ModuleScript
local Table1 = { }
return Table1
The reason I ask this is because the for loop I'm using doesn't recognize the tables in both of those ways, I can't think of a different way to create a table specifically for the player, without using their ID which doesn't work:
local player.userId = { } --Expected identifier got, '.'
If it is possible how so?

Make a different table for each player in the table itself. legosweat 334 — 8y

Also consider using datastores. GoldenPhysics 474 — 8y

Is that not what I have in option 1, a table for each player in a table? Also, I don't really want to use datastore because it's only a temporary thing, I'm OK with it being deleted after the player leaves. Evadable 65 — 8y

By what it sounds like you're trying to do, no, there's not.
The issue with tables is of course that they are just value holders. You'd have to give extra context to fully understand what you wanted to get from it of course, but you also need to consider why your loop doesn't recognise them.
Perhaps you should try using pairs() to iterate through tables?
