What does this error code mean?
I got this error code while helping a friend make a scare maze:
13:47:20.777 - The Parent property of Scare is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent PlayerGui
Heres my code:
local gui = script.Parent.Scare
local scream = script.Parent.Scream
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if not plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Scare") then
gui:Clone()
gui.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
scream:Play()
wait(4)
scream:Stop()
gui:Destroy()
end
end)

try hit.Parent.Parent. Sometimes using hit can get buggy... dragonkeeper467 453 — 8y

You have to break up your code into a couple more parts.
Line 6: if not plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Scare") then
If the brick doesn't receive a player, it doesn't have a PlayerGui. First, you should check to see if game.Players can actually get a player from the "character" that is hit.Parent.
Essentially, you'd need two if statements.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
if not player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Scare") then
-- Code here
end
end
end)
Now, I do not know what "scare" is, so if this doesn't fix your problem, you need to give more information.

if the player was nil, it wouldn't have given that error, it has something to do with line 1 FutureWebsiteOwner 270 — 8y
