Why am I getting this message in the console?

Asked by

"Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of Quackshire to Playing while trying to set the parent of Quackshire. Current parent is Queue."

here's the script that's causing it but I don't know why it is. (this is in a normal script and game is FE)

if script.Parent.Match.Value == false then
    script.Parent.Match.Value = true
    for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
        v.Parent = script.Parent.Playing
        game.Workspace[v.Name]:MoveTo(script.Parent.Position)
    end
else
    return
end

also it's showing up in orange so i'm assuming it's a warning, because of it the item isn't transferring parents. why is this happening and how can I fix this?

You probably can't parent Players' characters to a different object than workspace. thesit123 509 — 6y

Since you want to edit the v variable's path, you should clone. Here, try this:

if script.Parent.Match.Value == false then
    script.Parent.Match.Value = true
    for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
        v.Parent = script.Parent.Playing
        local clone = game.Workspace[v.Name]:Clone()
        clone.Parent = script.Parent.Position
        game.Workspace[v.Name]:Destroy()
    end
else
    return
end

If this works, mark as the answer!

As always, good scripting!

What thesit123 said is true. You must've put a variable wrong, because by the error, it actually says you're trying to change the parent of the player, which you can't do. I suggest you take a look at the variable paths and make sure you didn't mistake anything. OfcPedroo 396 — 6y
