How to see if a table has a item with a name

[aeroactual (clive)]

 if not table.find(PlayersInRange, v.Name) then
                    
                        PlayersInRange[v.Name] = {Player = v, OtherForce = 0, OtherDirection = 0 , OtherValue1 = 0, OtherValue2 = 0}
                    
                    
                    print("added ", v)
                end
            end    

the if not statement isnt workking and its replacing it on every loop even thought the table already has that name there
