Using tables with if statement

[Egekan]

Hello, I'm a newbie scripter and I'm trying to script somethings for fun. I have a private scripting server. I have an accesspanel gui, there are some dev. access codes(passwords) to login as a scripter. Is is possible to use allow some poeple login with their own codes?

First one checks if the code which is in the editbox is exists or not. As you see if it does, the person will be able to click the button.

function devenable() 
local acscodes = {"1234", "1231"} 
  
if guiGetText(accesscode.edit) == acscodes then -- Checks if the code is valid or not. 
guiSetEnabled(connect.button, true) 
else 
guiSetEnabled(connect.button, false) 
end 
end 
setTimer(devenable, 1000,0) 
  
  
  
function devaccess() 
if guiGetEnabled(connect.button,true) then 
guiSetVisible(ServAccess.window, false) 
showCursor(false) 
end 
if guiGetText(accesscode.edit) == acscodes[1] then 
outputChatBox("Hello, Egekan. Developer Mode is enabled!", 0, 200, 0) 
elseif guiGetText(accesscode.edit) == acscodes[2] then 
outputChatBox("Hello, AnyPerson. Developer Mode is enabled!", 0, 200, 0) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", connect.button, devaccess) 
  

it's fine if I use this one instead, which means the script is good enough

local acscodes = 1234 

Thank you for helping

You've put the table locally in your devenable function.

Put it above the function or remove local then devaccess function should work.

use this:

local acscodes = {"1234", "1231"} 
  
local passwordEntred = guiGetText(accesscode.edit) 
if  passwordEntred ~= "" then 
    for _,password in pairs (acscodes) do 
        if passwordEntred == password then  
            -- your code here 
        end  
    end  
end

Take Walid's example and use this

outputChatBox("Hello, "..getPlayerName(localPlayer)..". Developer Mode is enabled!", 0, 200, 0)
