Hello! I have multiple scripts for an egg hatching pet system where if you click on a part a random pet will be selected. However, clicking it comes up with an error attempt to get length of a nil value, though, oddly, it works after a few more clicks.
After the pet is selected there's a cut scene of the egg "hatching" where it grows and then explodes, and then the selected pet is cloned to the egg's position. However, the pet doesn't clone and comes up with an error attempt to index nil with 'Clone'. I can't figure out why this is happening.
This is a module script, located in ServerScriptService, which determines the rarities and chooses the pet (attempt to get length of a nil value error occurs here):
local ultrararePetModule = {}
ultrararePetModule.pets = {
["Mythical"] = {
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Mythical["Demonic Dominus"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Mythical["Lava Lord"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Mythical["Shadow Dominus"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Mythical.Ultimus;
};
["Legendary"] = {
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Legendary.Destroyer;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Legendary["Gigantic Lord"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Legendary.Kraken;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Legendary["Lava Wizard"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Legendary["Robot Overlord"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Legendary["Super Slime"];
};
["UltraRare"] = {
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare["Creature of Light"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare["Electric Spider"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare["Hallows Spider"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare["Lava Beast"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare.OctoHex;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare["Psychic Scorpion"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.UltraRare.Storm;
};
["Rare"] = {
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare.Bat;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare.Duck;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare["Light Demon"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare["Mad Scientist"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare.Monster;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare.Robot;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare.Starry;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Rare.TV;
};
["Uncommon"] = {
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Bee;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Crab;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Monkey;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Ninja;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Pumpkin;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Reindeer;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon["Skeleton Pup"];
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Uncommon.Turkey;
};
["Common"] = {
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Bear;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Bunny;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Cat;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Cow;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Dog;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Fox;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Koala;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common.Mouse;
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.Common["Little Dragon"];
};
}
ultrararePetModule.rarities = {
["Mythical"] = 1;
["Legendary"] = 9;
["Ultra Rare"] = 60;
["Rare"] = 25;
["Uncommon"] = 5;
["Common"] = 0;
}
ultrararePetModule.chooseRandomPet = function()
local randomNumber = math.random(1,100)
local counter = 0
for rarity, weight in pairs(ultrararePetModule.rarities) do
counter = counter + weight
if randomNumber <= counter then
local rarityTable = ultrararePetModule.pets[rarity]
local chosenPet = rarityTable[math.random(1, #rarityTable)] -- attempt to get length of nil value error occurs here
return chosenPet
end
end
end
return ultrararePetModule
This is the script which selects the pet and fires the cutscene when the parent part is clicked:
local petModule = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("UltraRareModuleScript"))
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
if player.Currency.Value >= 500 then
player.Currency.Value = player.Currency.Value - 500
local pet = petModule.chooseRandomPet()
print(pet.Name.." selected")
game.ReplicatedStorage.HatchEgg:FireClient(player)
end
end)
This is the local script, located in StarterGUI, which triggers the cut scene when the client is fired (attempt to index nil with 'Clone' error occurs here):
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local studio = game.Workspace.Studio
game.ReplicatedStorage.HatchEgg.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(pet)
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = studio.CamPart.CFrame
wait(1.5)
for i = 1, 50, 1 do
studio.Egg.Size = studio.Egg.Size + Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
wait(0.01)
end
local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
explosion.BlastRadius = 10
explosion.BlastPressure = 0
explosion.Position = studio.Egg.Position
explosion.ExplosionType = Enum.ExplosionType.NoCraters
explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
explosion.Parent = studio.Egg
studio.Egg.Transparency = 1
local petClone = pet:Clone() -- attempt to index nil with 'Clone' error occurs here
for i, v in pairs(petClone:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Anchored = true
end
end
for i, v in pairs(studio.Plasma:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
v.Enabled = true
end
end
petClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(studio.Egg.Position,studio.CamPart.Position))
petClone.Parent = studio
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
2,
Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
false,
0
)
local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, tweenInfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(petClone.PrimaryPart.Position + (petClone.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 5) + Vector3.new(0,0.75,0)),petClone.PrimaryPart.Position})
tween:Play()
wait(5)
for i, v in pairs(studio.Plasma:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
v.Enabled = false
end
end
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
studio.EggTransparency = 0
studio.Egg.Size = Vector3.new(3.914, 5, 3.914)
petClone:Destroy()
end)
Thanks in advance!

Ah, I see, I don't know how I missed that. Thanks!
