Forloop Question / Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Well, I wanna get my forloop variable to another function where I fire a remoteevent, but I cannot get it over and I cannot put it in the forloop. How do I do to fire it with the forloop variable?

Script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	local dataTable = {}
	
	for i,proof in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren()) do
		
	end
	
	local Username = script.Parent.Parent.Username
	local Reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason
	game.ReplicatedStorage.AdminEvents.KickEvent:FireServer(Username, Reason, Proof)
end)

You place the line game.ReplicatedStorage.AdminEvents.KickEvent:FireServer(Username, Reason, proof) inside the for loop block. Is that what you want?

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	local dataTable = {}

	local Username = script.Parent.Parent.Username
	local Reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason

	for i,proof in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren()) do
		game.ReplicatedStorage.AdminEvents.KickEvent:FireServer(Username, Reason, Proof)
	end
	
end)

Well, isn’t that going to fire the remoteevent multiple times if there are multiple things in the v value for forloop as I am fetching script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren(), it has multiple values, wouldn’t that fire it multiple times?

Well, I am unsure what you meant in the main question, so I assumed you wanted that…?

If not, maybe these would work for you:

If you want the proofs out, then I don’t know what you will be doing with the for loop, but either FireServer with the entire table of script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren() in it.

game.ReplicatedStorage.AdminEvents.KickEvent:FireServer(Username, Reason, script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren())

Or, if you will add some validation:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	local dataTable = {}
	local tableOfProofs = {}

	local Username = script.Parent.Parent.Username
	local Reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason

	for i,proof in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren()) do
		-- add validation stuff here or other things idk?
		table.insert(tableOfProofs, proof)
	end
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.AdminEvents.KickEvent:FireServer(Username, Reason, tableOfProofs)
end)
#5

So, for an example if I would have a variable inside for i,v like this:

for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren()) do
            local Proof = v
	end

I wanna put the Proof variable inside another function like this:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	local dataTable = {}
	
	for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Proof:GetChildren()) do
		local Proof = v
	end
	
	local Username = script.Parent.Parent.Username
	local Reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason
	game.ReplicatedStorage.AdminEvents.KickEvent:FireServer(Username, Reason, Proof)
end)
#6

this wont work, Proof is a local variable meaning it wont carry over pass that for loop. even if you make Proof global that wont work either because it will be resetting the variable every time you loop

do what @Y_VRN if you want it to not fire multiple times and send everything in Proof’s children

#7 
local function getV(t, s)
	for _, v in ipairs(t) do
		if v.Name == s then
			return v
		end
	end
end

You can just write a simple function that iterates over a table and returns a value.
