Hello! I'm having troubles with output, it's saying I have a nil value when it is clearly stated

Asked 369 views2 answers

Hey guys, so I am trying to get it so that if the mouse targets a frame, the camera view changes to fit the left or right place, so it gives you a "Look around" can anyone see why it gives me this?: 22:01:12.063 - Workspace.Player1.Helicopterseeing:21: attempt to index local 'mousetarget' (a nil value) here is the script:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local target = game.Workspace.Heli.Heli1
local target2 = game.Workspace.Heli.Heli2
camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
camera.CameraSubject = target2
 camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target2.Position) 
                          * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
wait(0.1)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TalkGui.script1.Disabled = false
while wait() do
if script.Heli3Ready.Value == true then
camera.CameraSubject = target
 camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position) 
                          * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)
local modelMode = true
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse() --Getting the player's mouse
mouse.Move:connect(function() --When the mouse moves
	local mousetarget = mouse.Target
if not modelMode then return 
elseif mousetarget:IsA("Frame") and mousetarget.Name == "Left" then
 camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position) 
                          * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-10), 0)

elseif mousetarget:IsA("Frame") and mousetarget.Name == "Right" then
	camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position) 
                          * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-10), 0)
	end end)

end
end

also, I'd like to know how to set a max on how far you can turn left or right!

If you want to detect if the player's mouse is in a GUI, use this:

local leftframe = script.Parent --Assume this script is inside of LeftFrame, the frame being inside of a screenGUI with RightFrame and LeftFrame

local rightframe = script.Parent.Parent.RightFrame
leftframe.MouseEnter:connect(function()
	--Put code that you want to execute when the mouse is in this frame here
end)
leftframe.MouseLeave:connect(function()
	--Put code that you want to execute when the mouse leaves the frame here
end)
rightframe.MouseEnter:connect(function()
	--Put code that you want to execute when the mouse is in this frame here
end)
rightframe.MouseLeave:connect(function()
	--Put code that you want to execute when the mouse leaves the frame here
end)

GUI objects (other than ScreenGUi and other base GUI holders) come with that event.

If you point toward the sky, mouse.Target will be nil, add a check to make sure it's not before doing anything with it. The mouse works with CFrame positions, you can't detect GUI instances with mouse.Target.
