Attempt to index string with 'Text"?

Asked 89 views1 answers

So I was working on my clicker game when I ran into an error saying, "attempt to index string with 'Text' and here is the code

local moreRebirthButton = script.Parent 
local infoHolder = moreRebirthButton.Parent.Parent.info

local price = infoHolder.Frame.TextLabel
local upgradeInfo = infoHolder.info
local upgradeName = infoHolder.Name

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local upgradesFile = player:WaitForChild("upgrades")
moreRebirthButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	local rebirthsButtonData = upgradesFile:WaitForChild("rebirthButtons")
	upgradeInfo.Text = "This will give you a boost!"
	upgradeName.Text = "Rebirth Buttons"
	price.Text = ((10)+(rebirthsButtonData.Value*10)).."Gems"
	if infoHolder.Visible == false then
		infoHolder.Visible = true
	end
	
	rebirthsButtonData.Changed:Connect(function()
		price.Text = ((10)+(rebirthsButtonData.Value*10)).."Gems"	
	end)
end)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Help will be great

Next time put the full error to save us having to find the line. On line 6 you defined upgradeName to be infoHolder.Name. Name is a property of all instances, so doing .Name will return a string (its name). Even if you have a TextLabel or some other instance in there named "Name", doing .Name will always return the property. So with that being said, on line 15 you are attempting to set "Text" of a string. So in total, you are trying to doinfoHolder.Name.Text, which of course doesn't work. Make sure the variable on line 6 is set properly.
