How to check if all the values in the table are a same?

while true do local factions = {} --Create an empty table to store the factions --Add the values to the table for i, child in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do factions[i] = child.Value end --Do whatever I gotta do to check if they're all the same. wait(0.5) --Update twice a second end

✓ Accepted answer

Here is what you would do:

while true do
    local factions = {} --Create an empty table to store the factions

    --Add the values to the table
    for i, child in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
        factions[i] = child.Value
    end

	if #factions > 0 then
		local check = factions[1]
		--USE TAB TO INDENT COME ON NOW MY CODE IS GONNA BE MISALIGNED
		local success = true
		for _, compare in pairs(factions) do
			if compare ~= check then
				success = false
				break
			end
		end
		--do something with the success value.
	end
    wait(0.5) --Update twice a second
end

So what this does, is grab the first value of the table, and compare if the rest of the table is equivalent to the first value of the table. Also, READ MY BIO. Hope this helps!

I am pretty sure that you can access a UI using a server script... @hiimgoodpack

You cannot with FE.

You are able to if the script exists as a descendant of the GUI element, though it should be avoided, it's still possible.
