  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to add 2 values (like a player name and a proximity prompt) and then retrieve the player name and the proximity prompt

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I’m not the best with tables so its kinda hard for me, but I’m still trying to learn more about tables and dictionaries

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried YT and Devforum.

Use a dictionary. You can set the key as the player and the value as a proximity prompt.

Code:

local values = {}

values[Players.MyCoolPlayer] = ProximityPrompt

all good and all, but how can i check if the players name and the proximity prompt exist in the table, basically and if statement. would it be if table.find() then ? or since its a dictionary is it something else?

No problem. By the way, it would probably be easier to index by the player itself, instead of the player’s name.
