How to get the highest number from a list of numbers.

I have a map voting system everything works but 1 thing. how can i make a system that when an event is run it calculates the most voted map out of 4 number values in replicated storage and it stores the index of the winning msp in another number value also located in replicated storage for example say the first map won the index would be 1 also there are 4 maps to vote for and i cant get it to work no matter how hard i try ik it should be easy but for sm reason it just wont work.

You seriously need to change the approach. Nobody builds a map vote system this way

Try a server script that stores the map votes in a table

If you don't get how. You needa try building simpler systems first like a points UI and a shop UI

That'll help you learn more about handling Clicks, storing values and flags, etc.

Once you have a table use table.sort

I'm assuming you have a folder holding the integer values and using GetChildren() for the table?

If so:

table.sort(yourTable, function(x, y)
    return x.Value > y.Value
end)

Then the highest value will be the first object of the table

so as far as ik table.sort sort sorts the numbers from smallest to highest is that correct?

It sorts depending on what you return

ok ill try it out later thx

[queen hull]

if you did

return x.Value < y.Value

then it would sort them from least to greatest

oh that makes sense now
