What does this error mean?
When I run one of my scripts, I get this error in the output: "Workspace.BridgeDeck.Bridge.Science/Engineering.Part.Script:13: bad argument #1 to '?' (Vector3 expected, got nil)"
Line 13 of said script is as follows: p.CFrame = p.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,10)
Does anyone know why this won't work?
[EDIT] The whole script:
01 | function separate() |
02 | if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Stardrive")== nil then |
03 | script.Parent.Sound.Pitch = 1 |
04 | script.Parent.Sound:play() |
05 | wait(3) |
06 | local s = game.ServerStorage.Stardrive:clone() |
07 | s.Parent = game.Workspace |
08 | game.Workspace.Separated.Value = true |
09 | wait(0.5) |
10 | local p = game.Workspace.Stardrive:GetChildren() |
11 | for i = 1,#p do |
12 | repeat |
13 | p.CFrame = p.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 0, 10) |
14 | wait(0.5) |
15 | until |

Where is the script located, and what is 'p'? dyler3 1510 — 9y

I tested this to make sure, and it works fine. You sure this is the right line? Perci1 4988 — 9y

Oh, you're problem is that you're trying to index a table. You can't do that, you need to iterate through each object in the table instead. An example is here:
1 | p=game.Workspace:GetChildren() |
2 | for i,v in pairs(p) do --Creates a loop that iterates through each value in the table. |
3 | if v:IsA("BasePart") then |
4 | v.CFrame = v.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 0, 10) |
5 | end |
6 | end |
So there's an example. To apply this to your script, we will keep everything else the same, and fix up your loop:
01 | function separate() |
02 | if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Stardrive")== nil then |
03 | script.Parent.Sound.Pitch = 1 |
04 | script.Parent.Sound:play() |
05 | wait(3) |
06 | local s = game.ServerStorage.Stardrive:clone() |
07 | s.Parent = game.Workspace |
08 | game.Workspace.Separated.Value = true |
09 | wait(0.5) |
10 | local p = game.Workspace.Stardrive:GetChildren() |
11 | repeat --Moved this outside of the 'for' loop. It would make each part move one at a time if not. |
12 | wait(0.5) |
13 | for i,v in pairs(p) do |
14 | v.CFrame = v.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 0, 10) --Index's the value in the table |
15 | end |

Ok, so now your code should work correctly. If you have any further problems/questions, please leave a comment below. Hope I helped :P

Sorry, I made a mistake. Give me a minute to update this. dyler3 1510 — 9y

Assuming that he wants all the parts to be moved at once, you have to switch the for and repeat. 'repeat for (stuff) end until condition' Perci1 4988 — 9y

No errors as such, but the actual model doesn't move :-/ JJ_B 250 — 9y
