attempt to index nil with Pumpkin?

Asked by 4 years ago

so im trying to make a food system. people grab food and get it in their inventory this is a little bit of my code:

1local itemName = item.Name
2local itemStat = objectStats[itemName] -- error is here
3local tangible = ss.Items:FindFirstChild(itemName)

in the module script:

01local module = {
02    ["Pumpkin"] = {
03        ["image"] = 453112717,
04        ["edible"] = true,
05        ["hunger"] = 12,
06        ["thirst"] = 5,
07        ["heal"] = 3,
08        ["bundleSize"] = 1,
09            },
10}
11return module

Obviously objectStats doesn't exist. Odds are you made a typo.

Please check your variable names next time you write code so you don't make the same mistake and come begging for us to fix your code. It's unreal and downright unnecessary.

Did you possibly forget to define objectStats, or did you just define it as local inside of a higher scope where the script can't read it?

Or did you forget to assign the variable to the required module?

1local objectStats = require(script.Module) -- The module location inside of require()

Sometimes you slip up. Sometimes you make mistakes that need to be corrected. Try correcting them before coming to us.

my code is like 700 lines long so it might not remember the variable. but i did use require NoobPowerPlayzz 15 — 4y
