Tables, seem to be a recurring topic in my posts but I am almost done with my code I just need to finish it but I do not have a clue on how I can do this.
I have created a main loop (At the bottom of the code) which should get data from a table then compare it to the whitelist table then if the player detected from the sensor is equal to the whitelist then it will do nothing and continue the loop however if the player is not on the whitelist something else will hapen My main issue is that I do not know how to do this and if I need to have both tables unserialized or serialised to compare the data. I don't even know how to do this. or where to begin.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
