Help with Tables

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When I’m making a table and trying to retrieve something from it, it keeps passing an error like when I try to use it with subscriptions.

Example of table;

local Table = {
 ["EXP-1111111"] = "VIP"
}

And when my script tries to pull it from the table it says ‘Invalid Subscription ID’; this is the script.

local P_Service : Players = game:GetService("Players")

P_Service.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	checkSubscriptionStatus(plr, Subscription_Ids)
	
end)

Any fix or does tables not work like this; the Code Assist provided the template thingy for the table.

Not sure why you’d need to type check P_Service, since game:GetService("Players") guarantees that it returns that service.
Can I see the code for checkSubscriptionStatus()?

#4

I’m not sure either I just like how it’s like that and sure hold on.

local function checkSubscriptionStatus(player : Player, subscriptionId : string)
	
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		
		return MS_Service:GetUserSubscriptionStatusAsync(player, subscriptionId)
		
	end)

	if not success then
		
		warn(`Error while checking if player has subscription: {response}`)
		
		return
			
	end

	if response.IsSubscribed then
		
		grantAward(player, subscriptionId)
		
	else
		
		revokeAwardIfGranted(player, subscriptionId)
		
	end
	
end

Ok, well, I should’ve probably asked this first: Is the ID for the subscription correct? If so, how do you define Subscription_Ids?

#6

Yes I checked the ID and it’s correct, and it’s defined like this;

local Subscription_Ids = {
	["EXP-5607828639684755692"] = "VIP"
}
#7

I also edited the script to this;

P_Service.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	for _, array in pairs(Subscription_Ids) do
		
		checkSubscriptionStatus(plr, array)
		
	end
	
end)

It still gives off the Invalid Subscription ID error though.

#9

Ok well there’s your problem.
I’m not sure how you understand tables and for loops, but as an example, here’s what a basic for loop would do with that table:

for i, v in pairs(Subscription_Ids) do
	print(i) -- EXP-5607828639684755692
	print(v) -- VIP
end

So in your case, you’d want to use the first variable in the for loop to get the ID of the subscription:

for id, _ in pairs(Subscription_Ids) do
	checkSubscriptionStatus(plr, id)
end

Hm, alright but what was the point in Code Assist giving this then;

["EXP-5607828639684755692"] = "VIP"
#11

And when I also edited the code before the for _, array thing I had the table like this;

local Table = {
 "EXP-11111"
}

And it still gave off the error when I did it without the for loop and even with it.

#12

I don’t really understand. I’m not some AI whisperer. It gives you code depending on what you’ve prompted it. But if you wanted the table to be a basic array, you can write it as:

local Table = {"EXP-5607828639684755692"}

and then for the for loop:

for _, id in pairs(Subscription_Ids) do
	checkSubscriptionStatus(plr, id)
end

I had it like that and it still errored.

#14

Can I see both the table and the for loop? Those that I provided shouldn’t error.

#15 
local Subscription_IDs = {
 "EXP-5607828639684755692"
}

for _, array in pairs(Subscription_IDs) do
    checkSubscriptionStatus(plr, array)
end
