Why does my func give an error saying it attempted to index nil with name?
I am making an admin commands script and it works. I then added in a check to make sure that the player is an admin and whenever I fire the func to check it, it returns an error:
1 | 10:42:22.132 - ServerScriptService.AdminCmds:16: attempt to index nil with 'Name' |
Is Admin Func:
01 | local function isAdmin(player) --Checking if the requested player is an admin-- |
02 | print(player.Name) |
03 | for _, v in pairs(admins) do --Getting the "admins" table at line 3 and looping through it-- |
04 | print(v) |
05 | if v == player.Name then --If the player's name is an Admin-- |
06 | return true |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | return false |
10 | end |
Player Chatted Func:
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
02 | player.Chatted:Connect(function(message,recipient) |
03 | message = string.lower(message) |
04 | local splitString = message:split(" ") --Splitting up the message the player sent to see if they were typing a command or not-- |
05 | local commandPrefix = splitString[1] --Getting the command from the message the player typed-- |
06 | local cmd = commandPrefix:split(prefix) --Getting rid of the prefix-- |
07 | local cmdName = cmd[2] --If the player typed an actual command-- |
08 | if commands[cmdName] then --Checking if the command is an actual command-- |
09 | local arguements = {} --All of the things the player typed-- |
10 | if isAdmin(player) then |
11 | for i = 2, #splitString, 1 do |
12 | table.insert(arguements,splitString[i]) |
13 | end |
14 | commands[cmdName](player,arguements) --Fire command function-- |
15 | else |
16 | print("Not an Admin") |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end) |
20 | end) |
Thanks for the help! If you would like to see the full script, let me know (there is over 200 lines).

Those are lines 15 - 24. The other lines are variables and another func (it works) SussiestBalss 40 — 4y

Hello as I know why as nil = 0 means none it should be a proper number like 1 if you're doing one command.

nil (null) is a global variable that points to zero, though virtually means a non-existent value. "Attempt to index nil with", means that you're looking for a property titled Name in an invalid Object. Ziffixture 6913 — 4y
