Avoid long if or statements

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Basically, I have a really long if statement below can be found a really old save a copy of that I found

if CosmeticName == "A" or CosmeticName == "B" or CosmeticName == "C" or CosmeticName == "D" or CosmeticName == "E" or CosmeticName == "F" or CosmeticName == "G" or CosmeticName == "H" or CosmeticName == "I" or CosmeticName == "J" then

Is there a way to make this code any tidier and cleaner and not so long but to still do the same task?

maybe change the CosemticName to CN so its gonna be like

if CN == "A" or CN == "B" or CN == "C" or CN == "D" or CN == "E" or CN == "F" or CN == "G" or CN == "H" or CN == "I" or CN == "J" then

or maybe use some kind of table probably?

You can put the names in a table and use table.find instead

Example

local CosmeticNames = {
    "A",
    "B",
    --And so on
}

if table.find(CosmeticNames,"B") then
    print("Found the Cosmetic Name in the table")
end

Perfect! Just what I was looking for, thanks!
