I made a little game and I want to check if a player name already exists in a "banlist". How can I do this if it's multiple names?
For example I have a playerlist like this:
PlayerList = {'Player 1', 'Player 2', 'Player 3'}
And I want to be able to ban a few players and add them to a ban list to forbid them from doing some stuff in the game. How can I do that? I can do it with 1 playername like this:
if (Player_Name ~= 'Player 2') then
print('Hello!!')
else
print('You are banned!')
end
But this would only work for "Player 2". How can I add multiple names?
I do not want to use "or", like this:
if (Player_Name ~= 'Player 2' or Player_Name ~= 'Player 3') then
print('Hello!!')
else
print('You are banned!')
end
Since my list might contain more than 200, I don't want to add over 200 "or". How can I simply check if the player is in a banlist I created? For example:
BanList = {'Player 2', 'Player 3'}
Maybe something like this (ofc this doesnt work)
if (Player_Name ~= BanList) then
print('Hello!!')
else
print('You are banned!')
end
