Storing names in table didn't work? help ( easy solution )

The answer by zamd157 would work. But if your table would grow in the future then it would get messy and unorganized to write it out. The best to do is to loop through your table

local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")
local names = {"Player1", "14dark14"}
wait(3)
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
for i, v in pairs(names) do
    if player.Name == v then
        script.Parent.Enabled = true
        return
    end
end

script.Parent:Destroy()
print("no")

(I think) it's because you need to specify which name it is just like so:

local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")
local names = {"Player1", "14dark14"}
wait(3)
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if player.name == names[1] or names[2] then
    script.Parent.Enabled = true
 else
    script.Parent:Destroy()
    print("no")
end

Hello! 'names' is an entire table, not just a string. That's why your code didn't work, to make this work, what you have to do is get everything in the table, so using for i, v in pairs().

local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")
local names = {"Player1", "14dark14"}
wait(3)
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
for i, v in pairs(names) do
if player.Name == v then
script.Parent.Enabled = true
end
end

This way its not messy and it works, accept if was helpful, otherwise tell me so

You're comparing the name of the player to a table.

Line 02 is the table and on line 05 you access the Name property which gives you a string. You need to index the table to read the value of each element.

You can do this with a for-loop to linearly search for a value in the 'names' table:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local names = {"Player1", "14dark14"}

local foundName =  false

for _, name in pairs(names) do
    if name == player.Name then
        foundName = true
        break
    end
end

if foundName then
    script.Parent.Enabled = true
else
    script.Parent:Destroy()
end

I recommend that you learn more about the basics of Lua. Specifically, loops and tables as these are concepts that will help you become a better programmer:

• Loops

• Tables

Let me know if you don't understand anything or if I left something out.

local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")
local names = {"Player1", "14dark14"}
wait(3)
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if names[player.Name] then 
    script.Parent.Enabled = true
 else
    script.Parent:Destroy()
    print("no")
end

i thought ur destroying it then printing it but idk someone in comments tell me why but that's not how u check through tables
