How would I make this if loop work? (2 FindFirstChild's)

Asked 186 views1 answers
if game.ReplicatedStorage.Quests:FindFirstChild(a.Value):FindFirstChild("CompletedBountyOn"..p.Name) then
end

Error: attempt to index a nil value

Since it has two :FindFirstChild()'s

p = LocalPlayer a = a value which is detected (String)

Is there a way to make this work without using two FindFirstChild's? I've tried using WaitForChild but that doesn't seem to be doing it..

Thanks in advance

FindFirstChild either returns the object you're looking for or it returns nil. nil:FindFirstChild("CompletedBountyOn"..p.Name) will obviously not work, but that's exactly what's happening.

You just have to do it separately.

a = object:FindFirstChild("child")
if a then
	b = a:FindFirstChild("child2")
	if b then
		--code
	end
end
