Hello!
I'm writing a mod to manage DKP bids for my guild. The guild does bids with whispers - everyone whispers a player (the one with the mod) and then the mod calculates who is the winner, according to our rules. What I would like to to make it notice the players who have already bid for the item. So far I have this:

ProphDKP_bidders = {}
if (event == "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER") then
if not ProphDKP_bidders[arg2] then 
	ProphDKP_bidders[arg2] = 1 
else 
	ProphDKP_bidders[arg2] = ProphDKP_bidders[arg2] + 1 
end
for name,amount in pairs(ProphDKP_bidders) do
	if (amount > 1 and name == arg2) then
		ProphDKP_duplicatebid = 1
	end
end
end

This is obviously a part of a longer piece of code, but this should be enough for you to help me.
Problem is that after someone has bid two times, it will also treat all bid coming after that persons second bid as duplicates, even if they aren't.

Any help appreciated

ProphDKP_duplicatebid is likely a global, so after the first time you set it to 1, it just stays equal to 1.

What you're looking for is something as short as:

if not ProphDKP_bidders[arg2] then 
	ProphDKP_bidders[arg2] = 1 
else 
	-- this is clearly a duplicate bid.
end
