Within my If statement, I'm trying to detect multiple player names locally.
local Players = 'NAME1', 'NAME2', 'NAME3' --etc.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if Player.Name == Players then
print(Player.Name)
elseif Player.Name ~= Players then
warn("Name did not match whitelisted players!")
end
I get my custom "Error" message (warn message) because it did not detect the player names. I am trying to check for the names it's supposed to check for and perform a function after.
Hello, you can make the Players variable a table and iterate through it checking if Player.Name is equal to one of the names at the Players table.
On this example I'll be using the for loop to iterate through the Players table.
local Players = {'Name1', 'Name2', 'Name3'} -- Made it a table by adding { }
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local FoundPlayer = false
for i = 1, #Players do -- Iterates through the ' Players ' table
if Player.Name == Players[i] then -- Checks if the LocalPlayer's name is in the table.
FoundPlayer = true -- If it is then FoundPlayer will be set to true.
print(Player.Name)
end
end
if FoundPlayer == true then -- If FoundPlayer == true ( If Player.Name is in the table ) do
print(" Player is in table ") -- (... Your code)
else
print(" Player is not in table ") -- (... Your code)
end
Hopefully this solves your issue! You can see more about loops such as the for loop I've used here: Roblox Coding Basics - Loops
