how to fix attempt to index nil with 'Value'?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Oddity").Value = game.ServerStorage.Odditys.Oddity1
if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Oddity").Value == game.ServerStorage.Odditys.Oddity1 or game.ServerStorage.Odditys.Oddity2 then
local Oddity = Player.Backpack.Oddity.Value
Oddity:Clone().Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
ERROR = ServerScriptService.DataService:3: attempt to index nil with 'Value' line = 3 the value is an object value

It means the object doesnt exist in serverstorage. Like the value you are trying to copy from voidofdeathfire 148 — 2y

This is because you are using .Value but the :FindFirstChild("Oddity") may not find Oddity and therefore it returns nil. It's the same as saying nil.Value hence the error.
To fix this you should try :FindFirstChild() and on the next line check if it wasn't nil
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local oddity = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Oddity")
if oddity then -- check if it's not nil then move on
oddity.Value = game.ServerStorage.Odditys.Oddity1
if oddity.Value == game.ServerStorage.Odditys.Oddity1 then
-- whatever
end
else
warn("Could not find Oddity in player backpack")
end
end)
