Im trying to put in a variable a instance that I got from using:
local instance = {}
for index, value in workspace:GetChildren() do
instance[index] = value
end
I wanna get the instance instead of the value, for example it’s giving me “Baseplate”.
you can just do
instance[index] = index
or
instance[value] = value
depending on which you mean
it will give me this:
can you further explain what you’re trying to do? Let me know if this is correct
local instance = {}
for index, value in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(instance, value)
end
What do you mean instead of the value you want the instance when the instance is the value?
well after im trying to use :FindFirstChild()
That should be correct. What problems are you getting from that code?
well that’s more complicated, I use a module to stock the loop’s data, in there I detect when a player die and if he respawn we will teleport him in a special place, it’s a custom spawnpoint basically. Here is the module. The module’s parent is my script. The LastChanged option is changed when the player touch another checkpoint.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local class = {}
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local userId = player.UserId
class[userId] = {}
class[userId].LastPlayed = nil
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
if class[userId].LastPlayed ~= nil then
print(class[userId].LastPlayed)
character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = class[userId].LastPlayed:FindFirstChild("Attachment").Position -- bug there
end
end)
end)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
table.remove(class, player.UserId)
end)
return class
Can you actually explain what the problem is, because from the looks of it your code is doing exactly what you want…
This is wrong. table.remove is for arrays, and it goes hand-in-hand with table.insert. What you are using is a hashmap instead, aka a dictonary. To remove it, you just assign the value to nil.
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
class[player.UserId] = nil
end)
thanks, the problem is that I cannot use :FindFirstChild() after using a value the error is “attempt to index nil with :FindFirstChild”, that logic but I cannot find what the problem is
.LastPlayed was set to nil. You never gave it a value.
