Why does the script think the code is different?

I’m making a private match system where the module script will create a match code and store it in a table. When the player wants to join a match, the module script will check if there is a match in the matches table with the code that they inputted. If it is, then the player joins the match. The problem is, however, the script thinks the code that the player inputted and the existing match code aren’t the same.

Here is the module script:

local funcs = {}
local matches = {}

function funcs:GetMatches()
	return matches
end

function funcs:FindMatch(Code)
	local found = false
	if matches[tonumber(Code)] == nil then
		found = true
	else
		found = true
	end
		return found
end

function funcs:CreateMatch(player)
	local code = tostring(math.random(1,9))..tostring(math.random(1,9))..tostring(math.random(1,9))..tostring(math.random(1,9)) 
	matches[code] = {}
	matches[code][player.Name] = "Host"
	return code 
end

function funcs:JoinMatch(player,code)
	if matches[tonumber(code)] == nil then
		warn("Invalid Match Code")
	else
		matches[tonumber(code)][player.Name] = "Player"
		for name,role in pairs(matches[tonumber(code)]) do
			if role == "Host" then
				local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(name)
				local temp = script.PlayerTemp:Clone()
				temp.Name = name
				temp.ImageLabel.Image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(plr.UserId,Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarBust,Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size100x100)
				temp.PlayerName.Text = name
				temp.Parent = plr.PlayerGui.Menu.MatchHostFrame.PlayersFrame
				break
			end
		end
		
	end
end

Thanks for reading :happy3:

when you create code you cast it to a string, but when you attempt to look up code on matches in funcs:JoinMatch(), you cast it to a number. String and number indexing point to different values in the table.

Don’t cast code to number here.
