How to create a table values?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I would like know how to create table values. Can you help me please?

#2

I highly suggest to look it up at the API Reference here and looking at other topics before posting before posting to the developer forums.

You can just do ArrayName[n] = Value where ArrayName is the table’s name (they are the same thing).

#3

I would like get value in intances. no values in a script.

#4

I’m confused on what you’re asking, but you can do

local children = <Instance>:GetChildren() -- get's the children of the given instance

or

local name = <Instance>.Name
print(name) -- prints the name of whatever instance you used
#5

I have another question. It is possible to set table async to save data values or I must use the httpService to convert it to string?

#6

It’s possible to save the content of a table into a data store, it’s not that hard to do. if you mean that?

local mainDataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local myTable = {} -- The table you'd like to save

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local tableData -- Save the data on this variable
	
	local success, unsuccesful = pcall(function()
		tableData = mainDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- Get the data and store it temp on a variable
	end)
	
	-- Get the data and store it to the table
	if tableData ~= nil then -- Examine if there is any data on the variable
		for _, dataItem in pairs(tableData) do
			
			table.insert(myTable, dataItem) -- Store the data on the table
			
		end
	end
	
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, unsuccesful = pcall(function()
		mainDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, myTable) -- Save the table
	end)
	
end)

-- If the game suddenly shuts down
game:BindToClose(function()
	
	-- Get all the players
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		
		local success, unsuccesful = pcall(function()
			mainDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, myTable) -- Save the table
		end)
		
	end
	
end)

Edit: I didn’t have time to test it yet so there may be bugs
