Thank you, that helped me a lot!

Use module scripts to configure and loop through them. Here’s a post of mine in which I explained the method in detail

It was used to explain stuff in a different topic so just look at the examples I provided.

Hmm interesting, ima try it out. Any thoughts on how could I do that on a skill tree?

#26

You could store the values in table on a server script for that, something like:

Initializing the table

local SkillTrees = {}

game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  SkillTrees[player] = CharacterSkillTree -- set whatever value the player skill tree is
end)

Make a module for all the skill tree values
Creating a config module

local module = {
 ['SKILL 1'] = {
  ['Name'] = 'Some Skill 1'
  ['Stats'] = -- stats idk
 }

}

return module

And then in a server script, you could do
Evaluating the player

local skillModule = require(pathtoModule)

for i, v in pairs(skillModule) do
  if SkillTrees[player] == v['Name'] then
      -- code that does something
  end
end

Hope this helps.
