If loop does not detect value, then create one

I’m trying to make the script work so if it does not detect a trello card with the title of the player’s UserId, it will create a new one.

I have it down so it can detect if a card does exist, however I do not have much of an idea how to check if a card does not exist.

some values in the script have been removed.

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local url = "trello key removed for public, exists in real script"
local TrelloAPI = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("TrelloAPI"))
print("Loading successful.")

function getPlayerCheck(username)
	local req = HttpService:GetAsync(url)
	local jsontable = HttpService:JSONDecode(req)
	for _, card in pairs(jsontable) do
		if string.lower(card.name) == string.lower(username) then
			print("Player found.")
		elseif not string.lower(card.name) == string.lower(username) then --this is the area I need help with.
			print("Player not found. Creating new miles account.")
			TrelloAPI:AddCard(string.lower(username),[[0]],[[list id, removed for public]])
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	getPlayerCheck(Player.UserId)
	end)

I think that you already have it solved? Your checking if they have a card and then if they don’t have one, elseif not string.lower(card.name) == string.lower(username) then (I may be completely wrong.)

If it is correct, I’m not implementing it right. It does not print any result from that point. I’m greatly confused at this point.

So am I so I may not be able to help you sadly :confused:.

You’d have to redo the way you setup the code anyways, because itll keep creating unnecessary cards that you dont want with the way you have written now.

This should be a bit better

local url = "trello key removed for public, exists in real script"
local TrelloAPI = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("TrelloAPI"))
print("Loading successful.")

function checkTrelloForCard(username)
	local ok = false
	
	local req = HttpService:GetAsync(url)
	if req == nil then return ok end
	
	local jsontable = HttpService:JSONDecode(req)
	if jsontable == nil then return ok end
	
	if username == nil then return ok end
	
	
	for _, card in pairs(jsontable) do
		if string.lower(card.name) ~= string.lower(username) then continue end
		ok = true
	end
	
	return ok
end

function getPlayerCheck(username)
	local req = HttpService:GetAsync(url)
	local jsontable = HttpService:JSONDecode(req)
	
	if checkTrelloForCard(username) == true then
		print("Player found.")
	else
		print("Player not found. Creating new miles account.")
		TrelloAPI:AddCard(string.lower(username),[[0]],[[list id, removed for public]])
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	getPlayerCheck(Player.UserId)
end)

Thank you greatly, this works perfectly.

If you don’t want to subcribe to an actual datastore service, use Roblox’s. Trello is productivity software… You might get blacklisted from their API. This is so wierd.
