Attempt to index nil with "IsA"?

Asked by
Gabrix23 6

Hello, I'm trying to make a script that when you hit a part named "Vetro" the part destroys. I'm doing it serverside.

I get the error "Attempt to index nil with "IsA"?" and I don't understand why I can't fix it.

Take note that that's a RemoteEvent, that's why I've put the if statement.

ServerSide script:

if t == "w" then
        local function vetro(hitted)
            if hitted:IsA("BasePart") and hitted.Name == "Vetro" and hitted.Transparency > 0 then
                hitted:Destroy()
            end
        end
        vetro()
    end

ClientSide script part:

function vetro()
    script.Parent.Event:FireServer("w")
end

I've also tried changing "IsA" with ClassName but still getting an error. Can someone help me please?

On line 7, you need to pass something to the function. The object that hitted. Soban06 410 — 3y

It does not. The error also means that "Hitted" doesn't exist, you never passed any BasePart into "vetro". Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

if t == "w" then
        local function vetro(hitted)
            if typeof(hitted) == "Instance" and hitted:IsA("BasePart") and hitted.Name == "Vetro" and hitted.Transparency > 0 then
                hitted:Destroy()
            end
        end
        vetro()
    end

I've added typeof() to check if it is an Instance and not a string. May help
