How do I check if a player name isn't in a table? [SOLVED]
Here's the script:
local cooldown = false
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
for i,v in pairs (touchedplayers) do
if not hit.Parent.Name == v and not cooldown then
cooldown = true
table.insert(touchedplayers,hit.Parent.Name)
game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent).PlayerGui.TextLoader.UserText.Visible = true
loop()
end
end
end
end)
I want to check if the player that touched the brick isn't in a table. If it is then it would do nothing but if it's not It would add him to it and call a function. When I go ingame nothing happens when I touch it, and there isn't anything in the output.

local touchedplayers = {}
function CheckPlayerList(PlayerName,List) --This checks is a player is in the specified list
for _,v in pairs(List) do --This goes through the list
if v == PlayerName then --This checks if the list has the players name in
print(PlayerName .. ' is already in the list')
return true --This returns true if the player is in the list
end
end
end
local cooldown = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if CheckPlayerList(hit.Parent.Name,touchedplayers) or cooldown then return end --This line will stop the script going further if the players name is already in the list or if cooldown is true
cooldown = true
table.insert(touchedplayers,hit.Parent.Name)
print(hit.Parent.Name .. ' successfully added to the list')
game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.TextLoader.UserText.Visible = true
loop()
end
end)
From what I see, your issue is "for i,v in pairs (touchedplayers) do", which is trying to go through a list which has nothing in it yet, so the part of the script after it won't run unless something's added to the list. There was no output shown as the script runs fine, it was your method at fault. Hope this helps
