I have made a character customisation system but it really long to do

[SayHelloToLazar (Laz)]

Yo guys, so I just did a character customisation system but it’s a really long code and I need help making it shorter. So I got 20 hairstyles and I want to make it every time I click on the arrows GUIs change to the next hairstyle in order of the names/numbers in their names.

Here is how my GUIs are looking like :

Here is how I store my hairstyles :

and here is how I do it right now, but I think that it’s a bit to long and that we could do something about like looping or something else but I don’t know :

hair.ForwardArrow.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if player.Hair.Value == "Hair1" then
		player.Hair.Value = "Hair2"
	elseif player.Hair.Value == "Hair2" then
		player.Hair.Value = "Hair3"
	elseif player.Hair.Value == "Hair3" then
		player.Hair.Value = "Hair4"
	elseif player.Hair.Value == "Hair4" then
		player.Hair.Value = "Hair5"	
	elseif player.Hair.Value == "Hair5" then
		
	end
end)

If you need more info you can ask me about it on this post I’m really active.

Thank you to anyone that helps.

You can store all of the hair values in a table, and store your current index of that table.

local hairValues = {"Hair1","Hair2",...}
local index = 1

hair.ForwardArrow.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if index < #hairValues then
        index = index + 1
    else
        index = 1
    end
    player.Hair.Value = hairValues[index]
end)

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I’m really grateful.

Considering the way you named them in the explorer, I would do it like this

local val = 1
local hairs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Customisation.Hairs:GetChildren()

function assignHair(val)
    player.Hair.Value = "Hair"..tostring(val)
end

assignHair(val)

hair.ForwardArrow.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    val = (val + 1) % #hairs
    assignHair(val)
end)

You are right, it would be faster than the one @CodeJared sent, thank you. But his worked as well. Thank you to both of you.
