Help with getting nearest ATM and phone booth from table

Hi,

I’m having trouble with my script that is trying to find the nearest ATM or Phone Booth from the player based on the hash of the object in a table.

Here is what I have:

function DisplayHelpText(str)
    SetTextComponentFormat("STRING")
    AddTextComponentString(str)
    DisplayHelpTextFromStringLabel(0, 0, 1, -1)
end

local phones = {
	[1] = {"prop_phonebox_04"},
	[2] = {"prop_phonebox_01a"},
	[3] = {"prop_phonebox_01b"},
	[4] = {"p_phonebox_02_s"},
	[5] = {"p_phonebox_01b_s"},
	[6] = {"prop_phonebox_03"},
	[7] = {"prop_phonebox_02"},
	[8] = {"prop_phonebox_01c"},
	[9] = {"prop_atm_01"},
	[10] = {"prop_atm_03"},
	[11] = {"prop_atm_02"},
	[12] = {"prop_fleeca_atm"},
}

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
	while true do
		local playerCoords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1), true)

		for i = 1, #phones do
			local closestPhoneBooth = GetClosestObjectOfType(playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z, 5.0, GetHashKey(phones[i][1]), false, false, false)

			if (DoesEntityExist(closestPhoneBooth)) then
				local objPos = GetEntityCoords(closestPhoneBooth)
				local distance = GetDistanceBetweenCoords(playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z, objPos.x, objPos.y, objPos.z, true)

				if (distance <= 3) then
					DisplayHelpText("Phone Booth")
				else
					DisplayHelpText("Nothing within radius of 3")
				end
			else
				DisplayHelpText("Don't Exist " .. phones[i][1] .. ", " .. GetHashKey(phones[i][1]) .. ", " .. playerCoords.x .. ", " .. playerCoords.y .. ", " .. playerCoords.z)
			end
		end

		Citizen.Wait(0)
	end
end)

Its only finding the phone booth or ATM if its the last object in the table. So for example, it works if im near the fleeca ATM, but if I’m near another type of ATM (which is listed in the table), it still says its not found.
I’ve added some debugging text to the outputs and it always shows that its trying to find the last item in the list. So I know what the issue is, but not sure how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Fixed it I believe.
My debugging message when it couldn’t find it was the thing that was causing the issue I believe.

function DisplayHelpText(str)
    SetTextComponentFormat("STRING")
    AddTextComponentString(str)
    DisplayHelpTextFromStringLabel(0, 0, 1, -1)
end

local phones = {
	[1] = {"prop_phonebox_04"},
	[2] = {"prop_phonebox_01a"},
	[3] = {"prop_phonebox_01b"},
	[4] = {"p_phonebox_02_s"},
	[5] = {"p_phonebox_01b_s"},
	[6] = {"prop_phonebox_03"},
	[7] = {"prop_phonebox_02"},
	[8] = {"prop_phonebox_01c"},
	[9] = {"prop_atm_01"},
	[10] = {"prop_atm_03"},
	[11] = {"prop_atm_02"},
	[12] = {"prop_fleeca_atm"},
}

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
	while true do
		local playerCoords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1), true)

		for a,b in pairs(phones) do
			local closestPhoneBooth = GetClosestObjectOfType(playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z, 5.0, GetHashKey(b[1]), false, false, false)

			if (DoesEntityExist(closestPhoneBooth)) then
				local objPos = GetEntityCoords(closestPhoneBooth)
				local distance = GetDistanceBetweenCoords(playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z, objPos.x, objPos.y, objPos.z, true)

				if (distance <= 3) then
					DisplayHelpText("Phone Booth")
				else
					DisplayHelpText("Nothing within radius of 3")
				end
			end
		end

		Citizen.Wait(0)
	end
end)

Nice what is the scipt for booth phone?
