How to put a textbox's text in a WaitForChild()?
So if I try doing this:
local text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:WaitForChild(text) == nil then
print("Invalid")
else
print("valid")
end
end)
BUT I keep getting an infinite yield: Infinite yield possible on 'ReplicatedStorage.Maps:WaitForChild("")
How do I make it work without an infinite yield?

You can't do :WaitForChild on a property. AntiWorldliness 868 — 3y

You are waiting for the child of Maps here.
if game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:WaitForChild("Child's name" ) == nil then

It looks like you're trying to see if a map is found matching the text in the textbox. The WaitForChild("") yields if it doesn't find a matching child. Instead, you can try this:
local text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
local maps = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for _, v in pairs(maps:GetChildren()) do
if string.lower(v.Name) == text
then
print("Valid")
break
else
print("Invalid")
break
end
end
end)
sorry if this doesn't look nice, it is my first post

It's case sensitive, maybe that's the problem? Defectivethekiller1 72 — 3y

I'm not really sure then, you could instead use textbuttons to open the map Defectivethekiller1 72 — 3y
