[Solved] Player not valid member of workspace??
I am trying to make a local variable for my local script in a Gui Button.
I am trying to identify the player's house.
When a player spawns their house in workspace the house model is called (I am using my username as an example):
theking66hayday'sHouse
Here is my local script:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player) local House = game.Workspace.player.Name.."'sHouse"--keep getting error here end)
New error Players.theking66hayday.PlayerGui.SettingPopup.Frame.TextButton.Script:4: attempt to index nil with 'Name' This time I am using a normal script in a button ui
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local House = workspace:FindFirstChild(Player.Name.."'sHouse")
game.Workspace[Player.Name.."'sHouse"].DoorWorking.Door.DoorI.ProximityPrompt.ScriptB = true

Hey there, could you try doing this instead?
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
local House = game.Workspace[player.Name .. "'sHouse"]
end)
I suggest printing out the result to really know what's going on.

Ah, perhaps the "player" argument gives you the name already and no need for the .Name. Anyways, I'm glad you found a solution to your issue! Mafincho 43 — 1y

What do you mean by a normal script? I believe you can only access the LocalPlayer through a Local Script Mafincho 43 — 1y

Ah, I believe I get it. Perhaps try defining the player inside the function? Mafincho 43 — 1y

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.mouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local House = workspace:FindFirstChild(Player.Name.."'s House")
if House then
-- do stuff here
end
end)
