So basically I’m going to have a script that allows whitelisted users in the table to say !host and it will host a tournament where players can join and compete for certain prizes like in-game cash.
So I wanted to start off with a test and just try to use a simple print() function when a whitelisted user says a certain keyword.
My code does not work for some reason.
Code:
local whitelisted = {
"danthespam",
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
if whitelisted[Player.Name]and Message == "test" then
print("hey")
end
end)
end)
The only thing I can see from this code is that you should probably use table.find() instead of whitelisted[Player.Name] as this is an array, not a dictionary/table (whatever it is). Also, you need a space between whitelisted[] and the and.
I’ve written out the new, hopefully working code for you here:
local whitelisted = {
"danthespam",
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
if table.find(whitelisted, Player.Name) and Message == "test" then
print("hey")
end
end)
end)
Your script isn’t working because your whitelisted table is an array, meaning that the index still start from 1, whereas if you were to convert this to a dictionary you would be able to set the index to the player’s name and have the value set to a boolean. So in order for your code to work you’d have to do this:
