I keep getting this error when I click a button twice. here is my code
01 | local List = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MainMenu.Screens.ShopFrame.GunNames.GunNames2.Lists:GetChildren() |
02 | local SelectedClass = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MainMenu.Screens.ShopFrame.GunNames.CurrentClassSelected |
03 | local ViewPort = script.Parent |
04 | local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera |
05 | cam.CameraType = "Fixed" |
06 | for int1 = 1,#List,1 do |
07 | local ClassGunContainers = List[int1]:GetChildren() |
08 | for int2 = 1,#ClassGunContainers,1 do |
09 | local GunNamesByClass = ClassGunContainers[int2]:GetChildren() |
10 | for int3 = 1,#GunNamesByClass,1 do |
11 | GunNamesByClass[int3].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
12 | local WeaponsAndTools = workspace.WeaponsAndTools |
13 | local SelectedWeapon = WeaponsAndTools:FindFirstChild(tostring(GunNamesByClass[int3])) |
14 | SelectedWeapon.Parent = ViewPort |
15 | print(SelectedWeapon.Parent) |
The error is: Players.mikey2019d.PlayerGui.MainMenu.Screens.ShopFrame.ViewportFrame.ViewPortScript:14: attempt to index nil with 'Parent'
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I apologize if it is a very simple mistake. Thanks. Yes, I know I have another question that is the same as this one. The reason for me asking the same question is because I accidentally said solved when it worked before. Turns out I was on another script without the click. Sorry for the confusion.
Edit: Found my problem as to why I am getting an attempt to index nil with 'Parent'. Now I am getting the output as WeaponsAndTools when it should be ViewportFrame.
Edit: Found my problem I was checking the wrong parent. Sorry for any confusion
this is my edited code if anyone has a similar problem to what I faced
01 | local List = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MainMenu.Screens.ShopFrame.GunNames.GunNames2.Lists:GetChildren() |
02 | local SelectedClass = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MainMenu.Screens.ShopFrame.GunNames.CurrentClassSelected |
03 | local ViewPort = script.Parent |
04 | local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera |
05 | cam.CameraType = "Fixed" |
06 | for int1 = 1,#List,1 do |
07 | local ClassGunContainers = List[int1]:GetChildren() |
08 | for int2 = 1,#ClassGunContainers,1 do |
09 | local GunNamesByClass = ClassGunContainers[int2]:GetChildren() |
10 | for int3 = 1,#GunNamesByClass,1 do |
11 | GunNamesByClass[int3].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
12 | local WeaponsAndTools = workspace.WeaponsAndTools |
13 | local SelectedWeapon = WeaponsAndTools:FindFirstChild(tostring(GunNamesByClass[int3])) |
16 | if SelectedWeapon.Parent == WeaponsAndTools then |
17 | SelectedWeapon.Parent = ViewPort |
19 | print(SelectedWeapon.Parent.Name) |
