[Lua] Saved Variables Being Overwritten

[Deleted]

I'm trying to store a list of variables which will be consistent throughout sessions using saved variables, at the minute it only seems to overwrite one table (still a bit new to this so sorry if I get terminology wrong or something).

Say I add myself to the table I will get this:

RolesDB = {
	["Dumbfoundead"] = {
		["Main"] = "Dumbfoundead",
		["Roles"] = "Tank/Healer",
	},
}

but then I add a guildy to the table it will override the field for myself with something like:

RolesDB = {
	["Guildyman"] = {
		["Main"] = "Guildymansmain",
		["Roles"] = "DPS/Healer",
	},
}

The code I'm currently using to do this is:

RolesDB[playerName:GetText()] = { ["Main"] = mainName:GetText(), ["Roles"] = playerRoles:GetText()}

There's also another problem, I would like to cross check what's in a text box with the table to display the properties inside it. Say I want to find out someone's main by entering their character name in the textbox, pressing a button and having their mains name pop up. I simply don't have a clue how I'd go about searching through the table to do it

Thanks for reading!

SavedVariables should not be changed before the ADDON_LOADED event fires with arg1 being your addon's folder name. Make sure you're not doing

RolesDB = RolesDB or {}

(or similar) during the loading process.

For the lookup part, you can simply:

print(("Main is: %s"):format(RolesDB[editBox:GetText()].Main))
