attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) Question:
I got a question. When i start my script. This code always wrong by attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)! i'm wanna to know why? Codes(The wrong place):
function findClosestComputer(Character)
for i = 1,#AllComputers do
local Computer
local Distance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(AllComputers[i].PrimaryPart.Position)
local NextDistance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(AllComputers[i+1].PrimaryPart.Position)
--He said Here! attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
if Distance < NextDistance then
Computer = AllComputers[i]
print("1")
else
Computer = AllComputers[i+1]
print("2")
end
end
end
Thank you!

You're trying to index the PrimaryPart of a nil value of the table. It's happening because of the [i+1] part. Make sure you're not trying to index more than the contents of the table. PlantChampion 136 — 6y

I also did it like that before but what happens is lets say you have 10 computers so the table is 10 index if the index comes to 10 like i = 10 then what is i after AllComputers[i+1] it is 11 so AllComputers[i+1] it is trying to index a nil value because the table is only size 10.
What I was thinking is make the index start at the one before the last so if the size 10 the loop will end at 9.
function findClosestComputer(Character)
for i = 1,#AllComputers - 1 do --Here I added that
local Computer
local Distance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(AllComputers[i].PrimaryPart.Position)
local NextDistance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(AllComputers[i+1].PrimaryPart.Position)
--He said Here! attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
if Distance < NextDistance then
Computer = AllComputers[i]
print("1")
else
Computer = AllComputers[i+1]
print("2")
end
end
end
Note!
That won't get the closest one since i changes.
Read that code I gave earlyer then you can still change the names to your likingand so you get the latest closest distance.
