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 are waiting for the child of Maps here.
if game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:WaitForChild("Child's name"
) == nil then
No i want it get the text from the textbox and use it it the "Child's name"
Wait, so you're saying you want to get the text from the inputted textbox and change the name with it?
yes
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
Uh i keeps saying invalid when I put a correct name
It's case sensitive, maybe that's the problem?
no i copyed and pasted the name
try now, I edited the script
ok
still broken
I'm not really sure then, you could instead use textbuttons to open the map

You can't do :WaitForChild on a property.
