Why I kept on receiving this error message with the StringValue?
Why I kept receiving this error message? And why the value not changing?
Error Message: 22:25:59.225 - Workspace.Events.Combat System.Movements.Power.current:9: attempt to index nil with 'Value'
01 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameEvents.Combat.Activate |
02 |
03 | event.current.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) |
04 | local c = player:findFirstChild("current") |
05 | local main = player.PlayerGui.Stuff.Combat.current |
06 |
07 | local char = player.Character |
08 |
09 | c.Value = main.Value |
10 | print(c.Value") |

First, let's fix the indentation and replace "findFirstChild" with "FindFirstChild"(because the former is deprecated, I think):
01 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameEvents.Combat.Activate |
02 |
03 | event.current.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) |
04 | local c = player:FindFirstChild("current") |
05 | local main = player.PlayerGui.Stuff.Combat.current |
06 | local char = player.Character |
07 |
08 | c.Value = main.Value |
09 | print(c.Value") |
10 | end) |
And the only issue I really see is that you did this:
1 | print(c.Value") |
It should be this:
1 | print(c.Value) |

^^^^^ Always make sure to read over your script before looking to others for help. I'd say 70% of script problems, at least for myself, are purely due to incorrect syntax. NinjaMandalorian 252 — 4y

Thank you! However, I just found what I did wrong. I forgot player.Character:findFirstChild("current"), when looking for the StringValue <---- with OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) you get the local player not the model of the player. FunimationStudioArt -14 — 4y
