Table does not working with table.find condition?

Hi, i have make a list of a boss in my server, when a player attack a boss i want to check if the specific boss is in the list, i have make this:

local list = {
    "Fox",
    "Yeti",
    "Crocodile",
    "Pharaoh"
}

When the player attack the boss i have this condition:

if table.find(list, HitParent) then
	print("Rangeboss")

HitParent = the name of the boss when the player attack, so for exemple HitParent = Fox

But the print is’nt fire ^^ maybe my condition is not exactly, somebody have a solution for check the name of the boss in the list ?

Use a for loop to search if the item is in the array. For example, you can do something like this:

for i,v in pairs (list) do
	if v == hitParent then
		print("Hit boss")
	end
end

Hope this helped!

for this to work, HitParent must be a string value and you can do this:

for i,v in pairs(list) do
	if v == HitParent then
		print"hello"
	end
end

if list[HitParent] then print(HitParent) end
