Why does this script no work?

Asked by

Happy Near Years Eve everyone. Anyway, so this value (with the script in it) is placed into your character from a different script (That works). The script that is not working is supposed to change the value of the StringValue to something specific, which depends on which team you are on. However, the script doesn't work. I have no idea why, and Output gave me nothing. Can someone please help me? Here's the script:

local check = game.Players:getPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent)

repeat 
wait()
until check:findFirstChild("TeamColor")

while true do

if check.TeamColor == ("Bright violet") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "AL"
elseif check.TeamColor == ("Bright yellow") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "Brazil"  
elseif check.TeamColor == ("Bright blue") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "China"
elseif check.TeamColor == ("White") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "EU"  
elseif check.TeamColor == ("Bright orange") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "India"   
elseif check.TeamColor == ("Brown") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "NorthKorea"  
elseif check.TeamColor == ("Bright red") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "Russia"  
elseif check.TeamColor == ("Bright green") then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Value = "US"  
end 
end

This is an easily fixable but common mistake.

You're trying to compare a Color3value with a String value.

You cannot do:

if check.TeamColor == ("Bright violet") then

Instead, it has to be:

if check.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Bright violet") then

It still won't work, except Output actually gave me something this time. Output gave me this: "Players.Player.PlayerGui.Insert.Allegiance.Checker:5: attempt to index local 'check' (a nil value)" CoolJohnnyboy 121 — 10y

It could possibly be that you said "check = game.Players:getPlayerFromCharacter" when the 'g' in "getPlayerFromCharacter" should be capitalized...so like this: check = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent) nilVector 812 — 10y

If that doesn't work, give me some more information - Is this in a local script? Whose player from character are you trying to get? nilVector 812 — 10y
