Im writing some code and when i dont include FindFirstChild it worked and i make sure that when i have FindFirstChild there is no "Jar" object in the part. Why is it not working?
Here is the code:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local parent = part.Parent
if parent.Name == "Jar" and script.parent:FindFirstChild("Jar", false) then
print("Test")
end
end)
instead of
if parent.Name == "Jar" and script.parent:FindFirstChild("Jar", false) then
do
if parent.Name == "Jar" and script.parent:FindFirstChild("Jar") == false then
doesnt work
so u tried the second one?
yes
do you wanna see if the script's parent has jar? cuz u put if parent.Name == "Jar" and script.parent:FindFirstChild("Jar", false) then
yes
He_ishee I’m sending you a friends req on Roblox. We can go into studio together and fix this.
replace false with nil
coolmcroy was on the right track, but :findfirstchild() returns nil if it finds nothing, not false. your if statement should look like this:
if parent.Name == "Jar" and not script.parent:FindFirstChild("Jar") then
since 'not' looks for the absence of true, it will pass if findfirstchild returns nil or false, which is what you want.
