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?
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remote.Sell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, item)
local items = {
["Iron Sword"] = 500,
["Iron Greatsword"] = 1000,
}
for i = 1,#items do
if item == items[i] then
plr.leaderstats.Gold.Value = plr.leaderstats.Gold.Value + items[i].Value
plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild(item):Destroy()
end
end
end)

Doing a generic for loop can solve this problem:
for _,object in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do -- Gets children of backpack
if items[object.Name] then -- checks if there is a item in the table that matches the name of the item
print("Found!") -- found
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.
