How can I check the values on a table to see if they match any values on another table

I have a table for all the players that have finished (FinishedPlayers) and a table for all the players in the server (Plrs). I want the event to fire for every player that didn’t finish. What am I doing wrong here.

for _, Plr in next, Plrs do
		if type(Plr) ~= FinishedPlayers then 
			EliminatedTextEvent:FireClient(Plr)
		end
		wait()
	end

You can maybe use table.find() (more info here tables) and check if it return nil, if it does then fire the event for that player

Yes, that’d be one way to go about it.

local function getArrayDifference(t1, t2)
	local t3 = {}
	for _, value in ipairs(t1) do
		if not table.find(t2, value) then
			table.insert(t3, value)
		end
	end
	return t3
end

Just make sure the first argument is the larger of the two arrays (longer).
