script returns attempt to call nil value?
note: the output only says server, but i think it is the script below cuz it says time to fix that right after ;error might be from line 14
i am making a block that when touched will see if it is a player's car touching or a bot's car touching, then if it is a player it will teleport the player to a certain location
here is the script inside the block
local the_big_boi = script.Parent
local function onPartTouched(other_part)
if other_part.parent.properties ~= nil then -- finds out if the touching model is a car
if other_part.parent.properties.person_in_car.Value == "bot" then
print("person is bot")
local bot = other_part.Parent
bot.humanoid.Health = 0
bot:destroy()
else
print("person is you know a person")
local car = other_part.parent
wait(1)
car.touch_block.respawn_script.trigger_script.Value = true
print("welp time to fix that ^")
end
else
end
end
the_big_boi.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

The reason why it says the value is nil is because when ANY part touches it the event activates, so you have to put a :WaitForChild() block in that line.
Your code looks like this:
local the_big_boi = script.Parent
local function onPartTouched(other_part)
if other_part.parent.properties ~= nil then -- finds out if the touching model is a car
if other_part.parent.properties.person_in_car.Value == "bot" then
print("person is bot")
local bot = other_part.Parent
bot.humanoid.Health = 0
bot:destroy()
else
print("person is you know a person")
local car = other_part.parent
wait(1)
car:WaitForChild("touch_block").respawn_script.trigger_script.Value = true
print("welp time to fix that ^")
end
else
end
end
the_big_boi.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)
