Attempt to index nil with 'Destroy'?

Asked 420 views1 answers

i'm trying to use a remote event to destroy a basic part, which is a child of the player. here's the code:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local waa = player:FindFirstChild("CloudPower")
	wait()
	waa:Destroy()
end)

Was the part created in a local script?

This error means that the object you're trying to destroy doesn't exist.

I think the issue here might be either that:

  • You're pointing to the wrong path, so the script doesn't see the object,
  • You've instanced (created) the script in a localscript.

The fix is either:

  • Check if the path to the "CloudPower" object is correct,
  • Create "CloudPower" with a serverscript or fire a remotevent in order to create the "CloudPower" object.

Hope I helped!
