how can I get the value of a string in a table?
I know the title is very confusing, but how can I get the number value that equals a string value in a table?
01 | game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remote.Sell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, item) |
02 | local items = { |
03 | ["Iron Sword"] = 500, |
04 | ["Iron Greatsword"] = 1000, |
05 | } |
06 | for i = 1,#items do |
07 | if item == items[i] then |
08 | plr.leaderstats.Gold.Value = plr.leaderstats.Gold.Value + items[i].Value |
09 | plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild(item):Destroy() |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |

Doing a generic for loop can solve this problem:
1 | for _,object in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do -- Gets children of backpack |
2 | if items[object.Name] then -- checks if there is a item in the table that matches the name of the item |
3 | print("Found!") -- found |
4 |
5 | end |
Also your method is very insecure.

I would recommend putting the table outside of the function (although it is not needed, it's just a good practice). And to get a value from a table you have to use its index. Let's say you want to get the value stored in Iron Sword. You would do this: items["Iron Sword"]. This will give u the value 500. I hope this helps you :D.
