[SOLVED] Can I do an if statement to see if a player's name is in a table?
So I'm trying to make a script that gives people with a tester rank a 2x exp boost in my game. Is there any way I can do this? I tried doing it like it is in the following, but it doesn't work, I tested changing the 10x exp one to a name other than mine, and it just gave me 1x exp.
01 | local testers = {"FoxOwO","S_naZY","jurassicsonic","Knineteen19"} |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
04 | player.CharacterAdded:connect(function() |
05 | local multi = script:WaitForChild("XP Multiplier") |
06 | local multiplier = multi:Clone() |
07 | if player.Name == "Knineteen19" then |
08 | multiplier.Value = 10 |
09 | elseif player.Name == testers[1] or player.Name == testers[2] or player.Name == testers[3] then |
10 | multiplier.Value = 2 |
11 | else |
12 | multiplier.Value = 1 |
13 | end |
14 | multiplier.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid |
15 | end) |
16 | end) |

you can use a generic for loop which literates over a table. You'd use the value to get the object.
01 | --example |
02 |
03 | local testers = {"FoxOwO","S_naZY","jurassicsonic","Knineteen19"} |
04 |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
06 | player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) |
07 | for i,v in pairs(testers) do -- v is the value and i is the index |
08 | if v == player.Name then |
09 | -- do stuff |
10 | break |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
14 | end) |
you can also use a numeric for loop,
01 | local testers = {"FoxOwO","S_naZY","jurassicsonic","Knineteen19"} |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
04 | player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) |
05 | for i = 1,#testers do |
06 | local index = testers[i] |
07 |
08 | if index == player.Name then |
09 | --do stuff |
10 | break |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
14 | end) |

You are using an if statement incorrectly.
01 | local testers = {"FoxOwO","S_naZY","jurassicsonic","Knineteen19"} |
02 | if player.Name == "Knineteen19" then |
03 | multiplier.Value = 10 |
04 | end |
05 | if player.Name == testers[1] or player.Name == testers[2] or player.Name == testers[3] then |
06 | multiplier.Value = 2 |
07 | else |
08 | multiplier.Value = 1 |
09 | end |
10 | multiplier.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid |
You could also use a for loop.

Okay I'm confused about what's wrong with the if statement, but I'll try messing around with a for loop. Knineteen19 307 — 6y

Mk so I'm trying to use a for i,v in pairs sort of thing, but real quick, what would I use to to gather all of the values in the table? Knineteen19 307 — 6y

I'm not sure how to put it. You can't use or with 2 totally different arguments. oftenz 367 — 6y
