So, what I'm trying to do is make so that I can spawn a prop from my props folder/models. I've already figured out how to make it work by using server scripts, but I want to make it spawn one when I press C. Here is the my propAPIMain script inside my ServerScriptStorage. I don't need it to be FilteringEnabled right now, thats not what I'm trying to do.
--Made by dudemanjude
print '[PropAPI] Starting up.'
p = game.ServerStorage.PropAPI.Props
--This is the function I used for spawning the props with the server scripts.
_G.spawnProp = function(propName, pos)
local prop = findProp(propName):Clone()
print("[PropAPI] Spawning prop: " .. prop.Name)
prop:MoveTo(pos)
prop.Parent = workspace
end
--This function is for spawning with client scripts.
workspace.spawnProp.OnServerInvoke = function(propName, pos)
local prop = findProp(propName):Clone()
print("[PropAPI] Spawning prop: " .. prop.Name)
prop:MoveTo(pos)
prop.Parent = workspace
end
function findProp(propName)
for i, prop in ipairs(p:GetChildren()) do
if prop.Name == propName then
return prop
end
end
end
Now here is the script for making the prop spawn when I press C. This script is inside of the StarterPack.
--Made by dudemanjude
mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
spawnKey = "c"
cP = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.Position + Vector3.new( 0,10,0 )
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function( key )
if key == spawnKey then
workspace.spawnProp:InvokeServer("crate_01", cP)
end
end)
The error I keep getting is this: 17:23:17.744 - ServerScriptService.propAPIMain:13: attempt to index a nil value 17:23:17.745 - Script 'Players.Player1.Backpack.crateSpawn', Line 9 17:23:17.746 - Stack End 17:23:17.746 - Disconnected event because of exception
I've tried many things, but they just won't work. Thanks, dudemanjude.

Have you tried switching the order of the functions?
I'll try that right now, just a minute.
I tried switching the order, but it still didn't work. And anyway, does switching the order do anything, because the whole script gets read before I pressed C, right?
