Requirements for inclusions in a dictionary

[boreal hawk]

I have a dictionary from a module script and called in a card system, and I want to add cards that will only show up if previous cards have been selected (ex. Attack 2 will only show up in the deck if you've gotten Attack 1)

[twilit oxide]

just check if player already has attack 1?

Just like Life said, Check if your example Attack1 Is already chosen by the player via a table, or instance values.

Lets say

Card1 Got chosen, later on when choosing

First:
Just like i said in your previous post, you roll and check cards, within that you put it inside a new table or an instance value inside the player with the CardName on it.

Second:
Check if Card1 Exists already within the table or within the children of where its put at.

Third:
If failed, then re-roll again ^^

Actually

Change my mind, maybe this answer is a bit better

Track selected cards in a table. When generating the deck, only include cards whose prerequisites already exist in that table (e.g. only include Attack2 if Attack1 is present). Then pick randomly from that filtered list instead of re-rolling.

see id love to, problem is I have no idea how given the way I've scripted everything

[boreal hawk]

i've got the table holding the selected cards down, but I have the script including the pool of available cards made in the same script

ill check my project rq and check if I can

ok I've found one way, right now I'm thinking to do smth like "for i,v in chosen do: [find every variable that has this name as a prerequisite] table.insert(cardPool, foundCard)"

would that make sense?

ion know what's hard about this

just make a table that tracks the card that's there

like if u pick attack 1, just table.insert(urtable, "atk1") or something

so if u do if table.find(urtable, "atk1") then do atk2

btw always use table.find if u want to search super fast

don't manually find it with luau

so ur code isn't messy and it's faster jssayings

really shouldn't have been as annoying as it was, my problem was figuring out how to call the parts of the dictionaries not to include

didnt know dictionaries only worked on strings and tables with numbers, had to make a separate array table to work around what I needed to

[wispy sluice]

dictionary can work for any type

it's not an array

idk man it wasnt working for me
