Getting a certain table value problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright so straight to the point, I’m working on membership system using module scripts (tables)

First table is the membership type, and second one is the membership duration

So when I go to my different serverscript, I try to make a value for the player and put the duration as it’s value, here’s my code, I don’t know what’s wrong with it, I did some research on the internet/devhub and I couldn’t come out with a solution:

platinum is the value let me explain
the table is looking like this

[1588610618] -- index {} -- and this is a table, and the table does not have a name

if i understood the thing correctly you should do

if v[1] == "Platinum" then

v[1] will be “Platinum”

if it helped please mark it as a solution

Yeah but platinum here is not the problem, naming the value is the problem

The value creates it perfectly fine, but I’m trying to put the platinum.Value value as it’s expire date, which is “never” in the table

That’s why i tried v[2]

Because it works only for arrays.

Ohhh coz v is the table and it will be “Platinum”, you don’t need a loop for that you can do

local PlayerTable = table[player.UserId]

if PlayerTable[1] == "Platinum" then
    etc...
    value = PlayerTable[2]

You need to use the for loop again. Or make it like this:

[1111] = {Time = 10, Name = "Awesome"}

for i, v in pairs(yourtable) do
print(v["Name"]) 
end

Yeah but I’m gonna automate it later on, so it names the name of the value the first value of the table, so it does need a loop

so you can do

local table = {
    [player.UserId] = {"Platinum" = {Expiration = "Never"}}
}

and it will work fine

You mean just add a variable to each table, the code you just wrote confused me, would it work like this?

then you wont need a loop… you will just do
table[player.UserId].Type or Expiration

I’m so confused, whenever somebody buys a membership you are going to manually add them to a table? that doesn’t make sense.
