I don't know how to put this into words properly but i want it so when i press x the array gets added by 1 for example...
id = { "apple", "sad" , 202049 }
game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if string.lower(key) == "x" then
print(id[+1])
end
end)
console when i press x
apple
when i press it again
sad
I appreciate your help!
You need a variable to keep track of the index in the array, like this:
id = { "apple", "sad" , 202049 }
index = 1
game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if string.lower(key) == "x" then
print(id[index])
index = (index % #id) + 1
end
end)
So, the first time it will run id[1] and increase index to 2. Then it will run id[2] and increase index to 3. Then it will run id[3] and wrap index to 1 (because 3%3 == 0) so that it can repeat this indefinitely.

Thanks so much!
I'd also recommend looking into UserInputService or ContextAction service, as KeyDown and KeyUp are deprecated.
It was just an example my actual script uses gui buttons, But thanks for the tip!
