How do i name/create variables in-game?
I've recently been trying to make a script that stores a _G table variable for every player on the server. To do that i need to make sure that every _G instance has a different name so they don't interfere with eachother. So i came up with the excellent idea to use player ID's, But here's the problem. Is there any way to create a variable IN-GAME with a custom name?
Like maybe:
1 | _G.["Table" .. 129265755] = {1,2,3} |
But it doesn't work, Is there any other way i could do this?
I'm fairly new to "Advanced" coding so help would be greatly appreciated.

You can make a new index with the player's UserId like this:
01 | _G.Players = {} |
02 |
03 | game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
04 | if not _G.Players[player.UserId] then |
05 | _G.Players[player.UserId] = true |
06 | end |
07 | end) |
08 |
09 | -- And if you want to delete it when they leave: |
10 |
11 | game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) |
12 | if _G.Players[player.UserId] then |
13 | _G.Players[player.UserId] = nil |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
Hope this helps
