getting all table values?
Let's say, I have a table.
1 | local player1 = {"username", "username2", "etc"} |
1 | Player.Name == player1[1] or player1[2] or payer1[3] or player1[4] or player1[5] |
How could I let's say do
1 | Player.Name == player1[all] |
instead of repeating player[1]/player[#] and so on?
I tried a for i,v; didn't work.
I tried doing
1 | for i=1, #player1 do |
2 | print(player1[i]) |
3 | end |
but it only goes through one player, then stops.

What you want the function to do? Because you can't change a player's name like that AvionicScript 65 — 6y

If you want to get all table values then use a for loop
1 | local table = {1,3,4,5,6,5,56,7,7} -- Can contain anything |
2 |
3 | for i,v in pairs (table) do |
4 | --[[ |
5 | do whatever you want |
6 | i = the place of the object being used. if i is 2 then it's meaning the 2nd element |
7 | v = is the element, like if it's dealing with the 2nd element of the table then v is 3 and i 2 |
8 | --]] |
9 | end |

Simple! You just use the pairs() loop or ipairs()loop.
There are two loops for doing this. Pairs and ipairs. The main difference is ipairs will break if you have a nil value in the table.
1 | local Table1 = {1, 2, 3, "NIL", nil, 5, 6, 9, "Randomstuff"} |
2 |
3 | for index, value in pairs(Table1) do |
4 | print(value) -- This would output every value in the table |
5 | end |
6 |
7 | for index, value in ipairs(Table1) do |
8 | print(value) -- This would output every value up to the nil value |
9 | end |
Thats how to loop around tables and what pairs and ipairs do.
Hope this helps!
