Function doesnt work

I have this function:

wins = {}
players={}
function Wins(name)
        for i,wins in ipairs(wins) do
                if name==wins then
                        return true
                end
        end
        return false
end

function eventNewGame()
for name in pairs(tfm.get.room.playerList) do 
counter[name] = 0
counterTotal[name] = counterTotal[name]
table.insert(wins, name)
end
    if Wins(name) then
            players[name]={wins=0}
print('okay')
    end

However, it doesn't work. (It doesn't print 'okay' and does not set players[name]={wins=0}) What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

It seems to be you're not ending or calling your function in the code you're shown. You don't end your for loop in the function eventNewGame() and you never declared name, causing it to be nil. Another thing may be in

if name==wins then

you're comparing to a table value and not a value from the table. So first you need to declare name then you need to explicitly state what it's comparing to such as

if name == wins.var then

or

if name == wins[1] then

or

if name == wins[var] then

Hopefully this makes sense and helps.

name is nil in the line below, unless there is a global variable name:

if Wins(name) then
