"attempt to call a nil value"?

Asked 12,017 views1 answers

So i was trying to create 2 objects a value and an attachment when clicking certain part, when i tried using this code:

function clicked (playerWhoClicked)
	local startorend = Instance.new("Attachment")
	startorend.Parent = script.Parent
local attachment = Instance.new("NumberValue",workspace.attachments)
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

It gave me an error "Attempt to connect failed:Passed value is not a function" then when clicking the part nothing would happen except i'd get the error "attempt to call a nil value" If someone could help me i would apreciate. And sorry for bad grammar (i wasnt born in an english speaking country and never did an english scool.

You connected "onClicked". Your function is "clicked".

This is what happens when you copy and paste from roblox wiki...

Your grammar is fine. Like GoldenPhysics said, you need to connect the event to the clicked function. In your code, you are connecting it to onClicked, which doesn't exist in your code. So, the last line of code would look like this:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(clicked)
