  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to check if a player character has the same accessory multiple times.

  2. What is the issue? I can’t manage to do it.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried to do it myself and looked on forums.

#2

By that do you mean if they own duplicates of an item?

#3

Yes, i mean that

(character limit)

#4

how are the items stored, are they like tools in player’s backpack or something? You need to give more precise info

#5

Well accessories, they are inside the player character

You would just do something like that (this just counts the amount of accessories in the player character, I hope i got the problem right):

local allAccessories = {}

for _, accessory in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
	if not accessory:IsA("Accessory") then continue end
	
	if not allAccessories[accessory.Name] then
		allAccessories[accessory.Name] = 0
	end
	
	allAccessories[accessory.Name] += 1
end

to check if a specific accessory is in the character multiple times just do this:

local accessoryName = "Accessory"

function checkHowMuchDuplicates(name : string)
	local amount = 0
	
	for _, accessory in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
		if not accessory:IsA("Accessory") or accessory.Name ~= accessoryName then
			continue
		end

		amount += 1
	end
	
	return amount
end

print(checkHowMuchDuplicates(accessoryName))
