Can't change value of StringValue?
I am trying to choose maps from the ReplicatedStorage and set the value of a StringValue to the name of the map:
01 | local players = game.Players:GetChildren() |
02 | local maps = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:GetChildren() |
03 | local currentmap = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("CurrentMap") |
04 | local chosen = script.ChosenMap |
05 | local spawner = game.Workspace.Spawn -- Change name |
06 | local choices = {maps} |
07 |
08 | function choose() |
09 | for i = 1,#maps do |
10 | if maps[i]:IsA("Model") then |
11 | maps[i] = #choices + 1 -- I was told to use '#choices + 1 = maps[i]' but it can't go like that. |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | local picked = math.random(1, #choices) |
15 | print(choices[picked]) |
16 | chosen.Value = choices[picked].Name |
17 | wait() |
18 | end |
Some of this code was changed a bit from someone in my last post.
But it just prints table: 33931ACC and an error pops up every time and I can't figure out why:
Workspace.CurrentMap.Script:25: bad argument #3 to 'Value' (string expected, got nil)

How is the table maps created since you assign the value of choices there User#5423 17 — 6y

This is because on line 6, you put the GetChildren() table inside of a table. You basically put a table inside of a table. Remove the {} around maps, and it should work.

Do picked = math.random(#maps) and remove the whole function since you don't even call it unless I'm looking at it wrong.
Also for future reference, you can call workspace by doing just workspace instead of game.Workspace

Remove choices while you're at it, unused variable after removing function masterblokz 58 — 6y

I call it in another function. Spoookd 32 — 6y

He should be using game.Workspace, not workspace. Global “workspace” just got deprecated recently User#19524 175 — 6y
