Why does this print nil even though the table isn't nil?
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Voted = {}
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
function Update(Update)
if Voted[player] then
print("yep")
else
table.insert(Voted, player)
print(Voted[player])
end
end
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key)
if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
Update("Map1")
elseif Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.B then
Update("Map2")
end
end)
On the update function, it keeps printing nil on the else statement, even when it has inserted it to the table.

table.insert is for arrays, while you seem to want the Voted table to be a dictionary theking48989987 2147 — 4y

You're looking for the players name in the table as a dictionary. When you table.insert, it adds a variable.
Try this:
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Voted = {}
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
function Update(Update)
local isOnTable = false
for i,v in pairs(Voted) do
if v == player then
isOnTable = true
end
end
if isOnTable == true then
print("the players name is on the table")
else
table.insert(Voted, #v+1, player)
print("player has now been added to the table")
end
end
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key)
if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
Update("Map1")
elseif Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.B then
Update("Map2")
end
end)
