Tables don't Love me

[monkstick]

Making a private zone addon, which works to a degree.
Everything works appart from this.

If I try and add a buddy to it (/invite monkstick will add me to the buddy table) it stops working correctly. I know exactly why, just not how to fix it.

function PrivateZone()
MunerisFriends = table.ToString(TableFriends,"table1")
MunerisFriends = MunerisFriends.." "
--PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,MunerisFriends)
if(IsValid(MunerisHoloprop))then
local orgin_ents = ents.FindInSphere( MunerisHoloprop:GetPos(), 1000 )

for k,v in pairs (orgin_ents) do
if(IsValid(v)) then
if(v:GetClass()=="player") then
TempMunPlayer = v:Nick()
TempMunPlayerUser = v
for k,v in pairs(TableFriends) do -- This is the problem part.  its looking key by key for that player.  I don't know how to search the whole table, then do this, v != TempMunPlayer then table.insert(KillTable,TempMunPlayerUser)
if
v != TempMunPlayer then table.insert(KillTable,TempMunPlayerUser)
else

end
end
end
end
end
end
for k,v in pairs(KillTable) do if(IsValid(v) and v:Alive()) then v:Kill() end
end
end

What im basically asking is, how do I search the WHOLE table first, then do v != TempMunPlayer then table.insert(KillTable,TempMunPlayerUser) if there not found, not just if there not found in that specific key.

table.HasValue(yourtable, value)?
for id, ply in pairs(yourtable) do end?
yourtable[key] ?

My god do I feel like an idiot now. I never realised HasValue existed, and yes I have been using the wiki. Its like my bible. I just somehow skimmed over that.

I will try this now and report back!

I can confirm that I am an idiot!, I mean, that it worked perfectly!

Whilst we are here, could you point me towards something that can explain using "sub variables".

eg: if I want to make a private zone for me and 2 others, I can use

table.insert(TableFriends.PLAYERTHATMADEIT,ply:Nick())

I dont quite understand how the variable.subvariable works,

thanks!
