How to have an array inside of an array

[bonejon]

I’m trying to make a banning system that logs bans to discord.

I’m trying to get my array to look like this:

local Banned= {
	{
		['name'] = "AvacadoMan",
		['value'] = "Was permanently banned for disturbing the peace"
	},
	{
		['name'] = "Nick",
		['value'] = "Was temporarily banned for 365 days for being mean"
	},
}

I have tried multiple different ways of putting the variables in that way such as

local Banned = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(DS:GetAsync("Banned")) 
--just a blank array
local NewBan = {
		['name'] = " Name Var ",
		['value'] = " Reason var "
	}
Banned[ ID Var ] = NewBan

And

local Banned = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(DS:GetAsync("Banned"))
--just a blank array
local NewBan = {}
NewBan['name'] = ' Name var '
NewBan['value'] = ' Reason var '
TestBanArray[ ID var ] = NewBan	

Every time I test it it bans the person but the array with the reason is nil, or I get a 404 error from discord and the array with the reason is nil.

Sometimes the webhook works but its blank

Here’s my full script and a screenshot of GUI:

Main banning script

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("BanService")
local re = game.ReplicatedStorage.Banned
local HTTPService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local hook = "https://webhook.newstargeted.com/api/webhooks/1176056359406546944/NQ-dvrUsOk16eJByFXQlv1Mf9eP4U07zZJYIrOu111c-IKGKc1qGDZ0fl0qYY6wtUyvX"

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local Banned = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(DS:GetAsync("Banned"))

	for BID, Reason in pairs(Banned) do
		
		if player.UserId == tonumber(BID) then
			player:Kick(Reason[2])
		end

	end
	
	
end)

re.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Guy, Reason)
	print(tostring(Guy).." | "..tostring(Guy).." | "..Reason)
	
	if Guy and Player:GetRankInGroup(15409427) > Guy:GetRankInGroup(15409427) and Player:GetRankInGroup(15409427) > 252 then
		
		local Banned = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(DS:GetAsync("Banned"))
		local NewBan = {}
		NewBan['name'] = Guy
		NewBan['value'] = Reason
		
		Banned[Guy.UserId] = NewBan	
		print(NewBan[1])
		print(Banned[Guy.UserId])
		DS:SetAsync("Banned",game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONEncode(Banned))
		Guy:kick(Reason)
		
		local data = {

			['embeds'] = {{

				['title'] = "Ban List [UPDATED]",
				['description'] = "All banned players are below",
				['fields'] = Banned


			}}

		}

		local finaldata = HTTPService:JSONEncode(data)
		HTTPService:PostAsync(hook, finaldata)
		
	end
	
end)

Local script

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui 
local re = game.ReplicatedStorage.Banned
local Players = game:GetService('Players')

function leftclick()
	local Kicke = Players:FindFirstChild(PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.BanText.Text)
	local Reason = PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.BanReason.Text
	
	re:FireServer(Kicke,Reason)
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(leftclick)

GUI

I hope that someone knows how to do this or else my system will be toast.

I’d take a look at dictionaries, as they allow you to label values and give them attributes.

I found out the issue, since the players id was a large number the first thing in the array is nil so the webhook does not send, if i change it to start with 1 and then 2 then 3, then it works.

you sent your webhook here please change it for security
