Mouse is nil. Need help with a proper algorithm for this. Help?
Interaction method, when you mouse over something, a function is fired. Having trouble with the mouse being nil.
Problem: Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalPlayerScripts.Interaction:276: attempt to index field 'Target' (a nil value)
Problematic code section:
01 | --mouse and functions already defined in another part of the script. |
02 | --MouseOver Interact item |
03 | local Interact = pcall(mouse.Target.Changed:connect(function() |
04 | if mouse.Target then |
05 | if mouse.Target.Name == "Prop" then |
06 | HelpBarOpen("Press 'E' to morph into this prop.") |
07 | else |
08 | HelpBarClose() |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Active") then |
12 | HelpBarOpen("Press 'E' to interact with this" ..mouse.Target.Parent.Name".") |
13 | elseif mouse.Target.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Active") then |
14 | HelpBarOpen("Press 'E' to interact with this" ..mouse.Target.Parent.Parent.Name".") |
15 | else |
16 | HelpBarClose() |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end)) |

Not sure if this is the solution to this specific problem but I do see that 'Changed' is not an event of Target, so you would need to change that to be
1 | local Interact = pcall(mouse.Changed:connect(function() |
2 | if mouse.Target then |
etc.

I felt that after reading that Target was a property, I would give changed a shot. Ripull 45 — 11y
