(friends folder) child removed from folder, removed from table, but doesn't save. Why?
I have a child added script and it works so I don't understand why this one isn't working. it remove it from the table, but when I re join the game, the friend name is still there. so it moved it, but didn't save. anybody know why it doesn't save?
01 | game.Players:FindFirstChild(plr.Name).Backpack.Friends.ChildRemoved:Connect(function() |
02 |
03 | DS:UpdateAsync("43214235235", function(old) |
04 | friends[plr.UserId] = old |
05 | local removed = plr.Backpack.RemovedFriend -- player's ID |
06 | table.remove(friends[plr.UserId], removed.Value) |
07 | removed:Destroy() |
08 | return friends[plr.UserId]; |
09 | end) |
10 | end) |

You are using table.remove() incorrectly.
The second parameter is the position of the value in the table.
For example,
1 | local test_table = {'hello','goodbye'} -- Forming the table |
2 | print(table.concat(test_table,', ')) -- hello, goodbye |
3 | table.remove(test_table,2) -- Removing second value of table |
4 | print(table.concat(test_table,', ')) -- hello |
A way to find the position in the table is to make a function for that purpose, such as:
1 | function findPosition(tab,val) |
2 | for i,v in pairs(tab) do -- loop through table |
3 | if v == val -- if the value is what we're looking for |
4 | return i -- return the position in the table |
5 | end |
6 | end |
7 | return nil -- return nil if it doesn't exist |
8 | end |
and then:
1 | table.remove(my_table,findPosition(my_table,my_value)) |
