so ive been getting an error saying: (Ignore The Brackets) (attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild')
the full error:
(17:11:57.662 - Players.Rgboffical_yt.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Blue.LocalScript:2: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild')
the portion of the code:
local tools = game.ServerStorage:findFirstChild("DataStoreFolder")
local SpeedCoil = tools:FindFirstChild("Ak-47")
print("Done!!!!!!!!!!!")
so how do i fix it please help!!! ThankYou!!!
Okay, so just by the error message I can see that this is a Local Script. The reason why this doesn't work is because ServerStorage can only be accessed by the Server, same goes with ServerScriptService. Local Scripts are client-sided and therefore cannot access ServerStorage. Local Scripts can access ReplicatedStorage though, so you could move the folder there instead.
Ok I Will Try It Tomorrow ThankYouSoMuch!
Most likely because "DataStoreFolder" doesn't exist whenlocal tools = game.ServerStorage:findFirstChild("DataStoreFolder")
ran, so tools would be nil
Try using WaitForChild instead
local tools = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("DataStoreFolder")
The issue is he's trying to get the folder from ServerStorage with a Local Script, which obviously won't work because Local Scripts cannot access ServerStorage.
True I Am Using A LocalScript
Even if FindFirstChild did return nil, it wouldn't error.
If i try WaitForChild It Just Gives Me "infiniteyield" thing
@Rgbofficial_yt Did you read the answer I posted? Try changing the location of the folder to ReplicatedStorage since local scripts cannot access ServerStorage.
Yea tnx dude
DUDE TYSM
Np.
Yea true i searched and i saw the article about serverstorage and ronlox said "ServerStorage Cannot Be Accesed Through Local Script/s" I Will Try Putting It To Replicated Storage tommorow cuz uhhh yea "Bed"
@Rgbofficial_yt i literally told you to not use ServerStorage with a LocalScript on another post.. which you also responded to.
Im sorry dude.Really Sorry Really Really Sorry
