Because you set potatoes as nil on line 1... Should be a table value. M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

Ok, it seems that you want to iterate through a table called potatoes but you indexed potatoes as a nil value. potatoes should refer to a table with another table inside it containing two properties called Softness and Mashedness. From the looks of it, Mashedness should be a NumberValue. You should also change the context of potatoes to local instead of having it global.



local potatoes = {
potato ={
Softness = 0,
Mashedness = Instance.new("NumberValue",game:GetService'Workspace')
}
}

function mash_potatoes(softness)
    for i, v in pairs(potatoes) do 
        if v.Softness < softness then
            v.Mashedness.Value = v.Mashedness.Value-1
        end
    end
end
