Why is the text on line 265 a bad argument??

Asked 326 views1 answers

I have a textBox search engine script but it didn't work, When I looked at the output it said "14:38:10.825 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript:265: bad argument #3 to 'Text' (string expected, got boolean)"

I don't know what that means and yes I did look around and didn't find anything, Here is the part of the script that it is yelling at me for:

e.FocusLost:connect(function ()
    local text = Type.Text
    if text == "spiderman90438" then
        textone.Text = "spiderman90438 is the Owner & Founder of Roogle, He currently is a Ro-Wrestler, Developer, And Youtuber," and texttwo.Text == "spiderman90438 signed into roblox at Nov, 28th, 2012, He is a 1x U.S champion and 1x Warriors champion, He is currently looking for developer offers."
    elseif text == "spiderman90438" then
        textone.Text = "spiderman90438 is the owner of roogle"
    elseif text == "Puppies" then
        textone.Text = "Puppies are cute."  --Etc. Keep doing this until you end up with your desired result. 
    end
end)

Here is the whole script in case you need it:


 

local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.Parent = script.Parent


local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
frame.Parent = screenGui
frame.Position = UDim2.new(0, -100, 0, -100)
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 2500, 0, 2500)
frame.BackgroundColor3 = BrickColor.White().Color

On line 265 I put and to do both text lines but I think it was wrong, I honestly looked and I can't find anything except for the bad argument on text, I don't know what that means, Please explain?

You have a completely random "and" on line 262

I believe this is the problem. It was probably a typo, I'm unsure the reason for this.

local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.Parent = script.Parent


local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
frame.Parent = screenGui

frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 2500, 0, 2500)
