Reading from tables?
I'm using a script for creating and loading characters, but whenever I click Load, I get this error:
Players.Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.LocalScript:24: bad argument #3 to 'Text' (string expected, got table)
wait(0.43)
local module = require(game:GetService('ServerScriptService'):WaitForChild('ModuleScript'))
local characters = {}
table.insert(characters,module.getChars(game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId))
local pos = 0.15
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Create').MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Create').Visible = false
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Load').Visible = false
script.Parent:WaitForChild('CC').Visible = true
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Name').Visible = true
end)
script.Parent:WaitForChild('CC').MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
module.createCharacter(script.Parent:WaitForChild('Name').Text,game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId)
end)
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Load').MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Load').Visible = false
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Create').Visible = false
for _, v in pairs(characters) do
local a = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Template')
a.Text = v
a.Name = v
a.Position = UDim2.new(0.035, 0,pos, 0)
a.Visible = true
pos = pos + 0.10
end
end)
EDIT: This is what getChars basically does
local t = {}
table.insert(t,ds3:GetAsync(player ..'_chars'))
return t

getChars might be returning a table. Since you're inserting a table into `characters`, when you iterate through it at line 22, v is a table. It might be helpful to post what getChars does. XAXA 1569 — 8y

GetChars just checks the datastore for player characters and returns a table of all the characters, but I thought Line 22 was supposed to convert each value into a string e.e DevNetx 250 — 8y

Line 5 appears to be inserting a table into the characters table. If you're just using the information from the module function, it would be simpler to redefine the characters table. M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

I'm using my module because that's where I have all my functions to save, load, set data ect. But the error is that "v" is a table :( DevNetx 250 — 8y

@TimeLordSir Is the datastore entry a table? If so, you'll need to iterate through another table on line 24 and 25. Shawnyg 4330 — 8y

Here's what I was talking about:
wait(0.43)
local module = require(game:GetService('ServerScriptService'):WaitForChild('ModuleScript'))
local characters = {}
table.insert(characters,module.getChars(game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId))
local pos = 0.15
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Create').MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Create').Visible = false
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Load').Visible = false
script.Parent:WaitForChild('CC').Visible = true
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Name').Visible = true
end)
script.Parent:WaitForChild('CC').MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
module.createCharacter(script.Parent:WaitForChild('Name').Text,game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId)
end)
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Load').MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Load').Visible = false
script.Parent:WaitForChild('Create').Visible = false
for _, v in pairs(characters) do
for i, k in pairs(v) do -- This will go through the table(s) inside of the 'characters' table
local a = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Template')
a.Text = k
a.Name = k
a.Position = UDim2.new(0.035, 0,pos, 0)
a.Visible = true
pos = pos + 0.10
end
end
end)
