Identifying ObjectValue in ServerStorage?
1 | local Owner = script.Parent.Owner |
2 | game.ServerStorage.MoneyStorage.Owner.Value.Value =game.ServerStorage.MoneyStorage.Owner.Value.Value + hit.Cash.Value |
The point of the script is to establish a variable named "Owner" and identify the ObjectValue which should have the name of a player.
Next, it will go through ServerStorage.MoneyStorage and find a NumberValue with the name of Owner, so if "carcanken" is the owner, it will look inside game.ServerStorage.MoneyStorage.carcanken.Value and access it.
When I try this, I receive the message that "Owner is not a valid member of MoneyStorage". I think this is due to me not knowing how to properly identify the Owner variable in this situation.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

If I understand your question correctly, you want to search MoneyStorage for an object with the same name as the script's parent. As-is, your code is erroring because instead of searching by the name of the object stored in the variable Owner, it's instead searching for a child whose name is the string "Owner".
Why is that? Something.SomethingElse is syntactic sugar for Something['SomethingElse']. You're searching for a child with the same name as the string you put following the period. Instead, you'll want to try something like this:
1 | local OwnerName = script.Parent.Owner.Value.Name |
2 | local MoneyStorage = game:GetService('ServerStorage').MoneyStorage |
3 | local Money = MoneyStorage:FindFirstChild(OwnerName) |
4 | Money.Value = Money.Value + hit.Cash.Value |
This is, unfortunately, all I can do unless you provide further information. In the future, please try to clearly provide all relevant information in your question. Thanks!
