Passing through a table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So i am creating a stats system that has a table that gives players all their basestats.
local baseStats =
{

	Health = 100;
	Mana = 1000;
	MaxMana = 1000;
	Defense = 5;
	Strength = 10;
	Level = 1;
	Exp = 0;
	ExpNeed = 100;
	Points = 0;
	MaxLevel = 20;
	
}

I am having a problem with passing through the table for example:
warn(“Player has no data”)
for i, data in ipairs(PlrStats:GetChildren()) do
data.Value = baseStats[i]
print(data.Name,“:”,data.Value)
end

I keep getting Null for baseStats[i]. but it should be getting the values from the basestats array

Try using in pairs() instead of in ipairs().

Your problem is that baseStats does not use integer keys, it uses string keys such as ‘Health’ and ‘Strength’, so baseStats[1] is nil but baseStats[“Points”] is 0.

If you can’t find a solution, show me the PlrStats folder and I will find one for you.

I think you are right about that because baseStats.Health works so how would i be able to go through the table with strings? Also heres pic of plrstats when player loads in

This may be what you are looking for:

local baseStats =
	{

		Health = 100;
		Mana = 1000;
		MaxMana = 1000;
		Defense = 5;
		Strength = 10;
		Level = 1;
		Exp = 0;
		ExpNeed = 100;
		Points = 0;
		MaxLevel = 20;

	}


for statName, statValue in pairs(baseStats) do
	childStats = PlrStats:GetChildren()
	childStats[statName].Value = statValue
end
