How do I reference a child using a table?
I'm trying to use strings in a table to reference children of intvalues in a folder, however, it errors, saying things like "(arrayname) is not a valid member of Folder" and I've tried so far to do things like this (some code may seem strange):
local stats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("LeaderStats")
local Index = {"IntValue1", "IntValue2", "IntValue3", "IntValue4"}
local priority = {4, 2, 3, 1}
for i = 1, stats.SeperateValue.Value do
for i = 1, #priority do
if stats:WaitForChild(Index[priority[i]]).Value > 0 then
--blah blah blah
break
end
end
end
Also, just as another small question, would the "break" end every single loop, or just the one for loop it's nested inside of?

How do we access something with dot notation?? Very simple You put the index that you want inside a variable inside the table
local stats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("LeaderStats")
local Index = {
IntValue1 = stats.Stat1, -- or stats
IntValue2= stats.Stat2,
IntValue3 =stats.Stat3,
IntValue4 = stats.Stat4
}
local priority = {4, 2, 3, 1}
for i = 1, stats.SeperateValue.Value do
for i = 1, #priority do
if stats:WaitForChild(Index[priority[i]]).Value > 0 then
Index.IntValue1.Value = 1 -- This is an example code
break
end
end
end
Hopefully this helped you Please submit this answer if it worked
