My json data is mixing up keys

[fringe tree]

I have a json string that is being converted into a json file but whenever I call the first respones its fine but when I call the second ones it mixes the two

If you need more info just ask

Mixes which two?

So like the first question gets printed fine, but the second one has the response and answer mixed?

[fringe tree]

it mixes "R" from "A1" and "R" from "A2"

yes, but just the responses

[sharp birch]

Could you send both things as text? Unfortunately nothing immediately appears as wrong so I want to try and test it

[fringe tree]

do you mean bring the json data as text into discord because I don't know how to do that

[sharp birch]

If you copy and paste both things into Discord as separate messages that'd work

[fringe tree]

Okay

[fringe tree]

JSON: {
"setup": [
[
[
"Hello Happy",
{
"Q": "Do you like bread",
"A1": {
"A": "Yes",
"R": "Awsome, me too"
},
"A2": {
"A": "No",
"R": "Boo, you suck"
}
},
"okay next question",
{
"Q": "What about cheese",
"A1": {
"A": "Yes",
"R": "Neat, I do too"
},
"A2": {
"A": "No",
"R": "Eww, you disgust me"
}
}
]
]
]
}

CODE: function module.askQuestion(chapter : number, dialogueCounter : number, character : string)
option.Visible = true

local charNum = characterNumber(character)

local Q = data.setup[chapter + 1][charNum][dialogueCounter + 1]
local answered = false

option1.Text = Q.A1.A
option2.Text = Q.A2.A

writeResponse(Q.Q, 0, 0.05)


for i, v in pairs(buttons) do
    v.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
        if v.Name == option1.Name then
            option.Visible = false
            print(Q.A1.R)
            writeResponse(Q.A1.R, 2)
            answered = true
        elseif v.Name == option2.Name then
            option.Visible = false
            print(Q.A2.R)
            writeResponse(Q.A2.R, 2)
            answered = true
        end
    end)
end

while answered == false do
    wait()
end

end

[fringe tree]

here you go

[sharp birch]

I assume you decode via HTTPService?

[fringe tree]

yes

[sharp birch]

I'm not super sure I can find any immediate issue. You should make sure the decode didn't mess up anything by printing it immediately after you decode it.

[fringe tree]

k

[fringe tree]

it prints fine it must be somthing with my function\

[sharp birch]

Okay good, so we just gotta print out every value we pull from the json to ensure it's not something we don't expect

[fringe tree]

yeah

[fringe tree]

When I printed the values on the first question it responded with just on but on the second it responded with both switching the values every couple of letters

[sharp birch]

How many times is the writeResponse function being called?

[fringe tree]

It gets called once to print the question and then It gets called again to write the response

[sterile hound]

** You are now Level 3! **

[sharp birch]

I think something must be happening with the writeReponse function. Do more prints in that function to see what its asked to print and to what.

[fringe tree]

k

[fringe tree]

yeah When i call the Q.A1.R it calls both strings on the second time do you know a way around this

[sharp birch]

Do you create new buttons every time? Or are you reusing the same ones?

[fringe tree]

reusing the same ones

[sharp birch]

Ah.

So because you're not disconnecting these connections after you make them, they'll still fire.

So the first click is fine, but after the first, there are now two connections to the same button, so two pieces of code run

[fringe tree]

how do I diconnect it

[sharp birch]

So :Connect returns a RBXSignalConnection object. By taking this and doing :Disconnect, you ensure that the code in that connection will no longer be run.

local connection = button.Activated:Connect(function()
  print("Pressed!")
end)
connection:Disconnect()

thank you so much for helping me solve this problem
