How come I keep getting an Instance is locked error?
I've been trying to fix an error for a couple of hours now but it just won't work. It occurs when a player changes a team 3 times. I don't know why it's occurring tho. Can somebody please help me with this?
The Parent property of TanWebbing2 is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent StarterCharacter
Script
EntenteClassEvents.AmericanRifleManEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
local AmericanRifleManCharacter = EntentePowers.AmericanRifleMan:Clone()
if not game.StarterPlayer:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Name = "StarterCharacter"
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
wait(.1)
if TanWebbingRandom == 1 then
Webbings.TanWebbing1.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 1')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 2 then
Webbings.TanWebbing2.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 2')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 3 then
Webbings.TanWebbing3.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 3')
end
else
game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacter:Destroy()
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Name = "StarterCharacter"
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
wait(.1)
if TanWebbingRandom == 1 then
Webbings.TanWebbing1.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter -- occurs here
print('Tan 1')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 2 then
Webbings.TanWebbing2.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter -- occurs here
print('Tan 2')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 3 then
Webbings.TanWebbing3.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter -- occurs here
print('Tan 3')
end
end
end)

Took me a while to realize that you destroyed the character.
So what I think is happening is that because you destroyed the StarterCharacter without cloning the TanWebbing, the TanWeb became destroyed as well.
Don't understand it?
Basically, when you destroyed the AmericanRifleManCharacter, you also destroyed the TabWebbing and there's no more TanWebbing to be parented. A way to fix this is to clone the TanWebbing before parenting it.
if not game.StarterPlayer:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Name = "StarterCharacter"
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
wait(.1)
if TanWebbingRandom == 1 then
local ClonedWeb = Webbings.TanWebbing1:Clone() -- Clones the Webbing, so now when it's parented into the StarterCharacter, there will still be a spare.
ClonedWeb.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 1')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 2 then
local ClonedWeb = Webbings.TanWebbing2:Clone()
ClonedWeb.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 2')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 3 then
local ClonedWeb = Webbings.TanWebbing3:Clone()
ClonedWeb.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 3')
end
else
game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacter:Destroy()
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Name = "StarterCharacter"
AmericanRifleManCharacter.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
wait(.1)
if TanWebbingRandom == 1 then
local ClonedWeb = Webbings.TanWebbing1:Clone() -- Clones the Webbing, so now when it's parented into the StarterCharacter, there will still be a spare.
ClonedWeb.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 1')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 2 then
local ClonedWeb = Webbings.TanWebbing2:Clone()
ClonedWeb.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 2')
elseif TanWebbingRandom == 3 then
local ClonedWeb = Webbings.TanWebbing3:Clone()
ClonedWeb.Parent = AmericanRifleManCharacter
print('Tan 3')
end
end
The Parent property of TanWebbing2 is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent StarterCharacter basically means TanWebbing2 is nil or destroyed (Or garbage collected) so to prevent that error from happening, we can clone that instance before we use it so that if we need it again, there would be a spare instance for us to use.
