Checking if a table contains a string?
Im currently scripting an admin gui and i ran into a problem: im using ipairs to check if the player is in the admin table. Now Player1 is ~= my name so it deletes the gui. Is there a function to check if a table contains a string?
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
admins = {"OKRPLAY","Player1"}
for i,v in ipairs(admins) do
if v ~= plr.Name then
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end

ipairs takes longer than pairs. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

There are some issues with your current script. Let's address these first. 'if v ~= plr.Name then' we'll say my name is 'Player1'. I'm an admin. But since it goes through all of the strings, if my name isn't 'OKRPLAY' then it will be deleted. With slight changes we end with this. If you don't want a function, slight changes will fix that.
local Admins = {"TeleMom", "Noobite"}
function CheckAdmin(Plr)
local Success = false
for i,v in pairs(Admins) do -- Go through the admin list
if Plr.Name == v then
Success = true -- Indicate that it was a success
return -- Player is an admin, don't waste time going through.
end
end
return Success
end
If the player is an admin then you get true. If not, you get a false.
