How to compare between two scrolling frame

[DearGambler (xie)]

Hi i have some problem , im tryna make cashier system . So to get money , cashier must match with menu customer wanted . When npc come to cashier, it will random pick image button from menu list and parent to customer’s scrolling frame and cashier must pick menu from menu list . Once clicked , it will clone image button and parent to cashier’s scrolling frame . So when cashier clicked the confirm button it will compare between scrolling frame cashier and customer . Btw the image button got their own specific name . Question is how to compare ? If match then it will print yes and fire event . Let me know

Since the image buttons have got their own specific names, you can use for loops to compare them, like this:

function compare()
	for _, button in pairs(cashierFrame:GetChildren()) do
		local buttonMatched = false -- If this is true then the button is matched with customer's one
		
		for _, anotherButton in pairs(customerFrame:GetChildren()) do
			if button.Name == anotherButton.Name then
				buttonMatched = true -- The buttons matched with each other
				break
			end
		end
		
		if not buttonMatched then
			return false -- The two scrolling frames aren't matching
		end
	end
	
	return true -- The two scrolling frames are matching
end

print(compare()) -- Prints true if the two scrolling frames match with each other,
                 -- or false if they don't.

Also, this isn’t the right category, you would want to go to #help-and-feedback:scripting-support.

This is not supposed to be in Dev Discussion…

Just to keep the forum organized, move this to scripting support.

Yes, it will work no matter how many image buttons there are.
