When a player joins a game I want to add a table containing their information (inventory, variables etc.) to a global table that I can then index by using the player's name. For example, if I want to access a player's coins I could do:
_G.Players.[player name here].coins
But I can't quite figure out how to add a table to a global table using the name of the player. If anyone could help it would be very appreciated.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
_G.Players[plr.Name]["Coins"] = 0
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
_G.Players[plr.Name] = nil
end)
This will give an attempt to index a nil value error. First you need to create the table to store the "Coins" key.
This ended up working, but instead of indexing coins, I went with _G.Players[player.Name] = {coins = 0}
I don't for sure but maybe something like this:
local Table1 = {1,2,"Hello","This is me table lol"}
local Table2 = {4,6,7,4,"No this is me new table xD"}
local Tables = {Table1,Table2}
Does that work?
Thanks for the help, but I don't think that would work as I'm trying to create a table using the players name when they join

I think you can do this with metatables.
i would use a module for this
