How would you insert both the name of a value and the value itself into a table?
Hi there! I'm trying to mess around with different ways for storing data via DataStore without saving each value individually. Someone I know had suggested trying to save it all with a table, so I'm trying to do that. However, I'm a bit confused as to how I would use table.insert(), or anything else to add the name of the value, and the value itself to the table? Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
What I want:
local Table = {
["Cash"] = 0
}
Script I've tried using:
local Table = {}
for _,v in pairs(Player["leaderstats"]:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(Table, {[v.Name] = v.Value})
end

Just do Table[v.Name] = v.Value User#25115 0 — 5y

In the example you gave, you were inserting a table into Table. User#25115 0 — 5y

Its simple, dont need to use table.insert you can only use Table[ITEM] = VALUE
This basically creates a new value in a table. because you're basically setting this for the table.
Here is a example:
local Table = {}
Table["Coin"] = 120 -- Add the value to table.
wait()
print(Table["Coin"]) -- Print the value.
Here is your fixed script:
local Table = {} -- Items table
for _,v in pairs(Player["leaderstats"]:GetChildren()) do -- Get all items in leaderstats in player
Table[v.Name] = v.Value -- Add the values to table.
end
Hope it helped :)
