values from a dictionary and array

[hazy ivy]

you could send the table trough a bindable event

[lunar anchor]

can u elaborate

do u have a code

[formal fiber]

module scripts

or bindable events

do your own research on them

[lunar anchor]

u have to call them in a modeule script?

[formal fiber]

no

if you have something that needs to be used in more than 1 script, it's general practice to put that into a module script

in this case, you'd move the function into a module script and then you can require that module script in the scripts you want to use the function in

[lunar anchor]

oh

can u explain how to do that]

[formal fiber]

YouTube can do that better than me

[vague scarab]

this guy is pretty good at explaining stuff in my opinion

This is almost universally discouraged, but another quick way to share values across scripts is to use the _G global table to store them, for example:

Script A
_G.Key = "SDF09SDF"

Script B
print(_G.Key)

Just note the order in which you initialise and then read matters - if the line in script B runs before script A, it'll print nil. Also, it can quickly get polluted. So just be really careful. I'd recommend module scripts but I wanted to let you know about _G as well, though maybe I am a bad person for doing so...

[hazy ivy]

weren't modules created to replace _G ?

yeah, he literally said that its very discouraged

to use _G
