Why does this script not give me the creator tag if I made a variable for all the creators names?
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local gui = game.ServerStorage.Name_stats
local creatorsgui = game.ServerStorage.Creators
local function createGui(player, character)
local gc = gui:clone()
local cgc = creatorsgui:clone()
local name = player.Name
local level = player.leaderstats.Level
local cnames = {"duckyo01", "tonymayhem" , "Bluefeather2011", "Bladedevv", "Verassi", "Sourskittles"}
while character do
wait()
if name == cnames then
cgc.Parent = character.Head
cgc.Nameandlevel.Text = "Creator | "..name.. ""
else
gc.Parent = character.Head
gc.Nameandlevel.Text = "" ..name.. " | Level: "..level.Value..""
end
end
end
players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
createGui(player, character)
end)
end)
Yes my main account name is duckyo01 so me typing my name wrong is not a reason.

You're comparing a string with a table. Goulstem 8144 — 6y

I'm not so sure it works when I do if name == "duckyo01" then duckyo011 36 — 6y

One way to check is to use a for loop or set your table such as [player]=true and then check if cnames[playername]==true then lukeb50 631 — 6y

There are several things you can do to fix this script. One thing you can do is implement your names as a set. With a set, you can simply index the names to check if it is in the set, like so:
-- Convert your table into a set. You can probably write a function that does this for you...
local cnames = {
duckyo01 = true,
tonymayhem = true,
Bluefeather2011 = true,
Bladedevv = true,
Verassi = true,
Sourskittles = true
}
...
if cnames[name] then -- will be true or nil, depending on whether or not it is in the set
...
You can also try iterating through the list of names. Although this is slower if you're working with a large list of names (probably not enough to actually matter, though.)
local cnames = {"duckyo01", "tonymayhem" , "Bluefeather2011", "Bladedevv", "Verassi", "Sourskittles"}
...
local nameFound = false
for _, cname in pairs(cnames) do -- check each name in cnames
if cname == name then -- if we find the name we were looking for
nameFound = true -- then set nameFound to true
break
end
end
if nameFound then -- did we find the name that we were looking for?
