How do I fix this conditional statement?
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
if part.Parent.Dirt == nil then
print("It's working")
end
end)
Okay, according to the code, or at least what I think should happen, is that if the object "Dirt" does not exist in the parent of part, then it should print "It's working". But umm, yeah it doesn't do that, it just errors "Dirt is not a valid member of Model" and doesn't do anything inside the if statement. If you guys could maybe help me find a way to word it better or point out my errors then thank you.

Hey Your_Momdotcom,
You have sort of the right idea but, it's done in a different way. You have to use :FindFirstChild() and not method for this. Here, check this code out below as an example.
local part = workspace:FindFirstChild("Part")
if not part then
print("It's working...")
end
Well, I hope that helped and if you want to view the wiki pages for 'not' or ':FindFirstChild()' then just click on the words in this answer and it should take you there.

findFirstChild is deprecated. Use FindFirstChild. BlueTaslem 18071 — 7y
