Why is this value nil in text filtering script?

Asked by 5 years ago

Ive set up these two functions so that when a remote event and function are triggered, certain functions happen that filter the text and give it back to the player in a text label. When I test this ingame I get the following error:

-- Error filtering message: ServerScriptService.TextFilter:27: attempt to index global 'text' (a nil value)

And here is the script in ServerScriptService:


local summary = game.ReplicatedStorage.Summary.Value function Filter() local TextService = game:GetService("TextService") local sumname = game.ServerStorage.Summarizer.Value local summarizer = game.Players[sumname].UserId local filteredMessage = "" summary = game.ReplicatedStorage.Summary.Value success, errorMessage = pcall(function() text = TextService:FilterStringAsync(summary, summarizer) end) if success then return text elseif errorMessage then print("Error filtering message:", errorMessage) end end game.ReplicatedStorage.FilterEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Filter) function sendFiltered() wait (0.1) local TextService = game:GetService("TextService") local sumname = game.ServerStorage.Summarizer.Value local filteredMessage = "" success, errorMessage = pcall(function() filteredMessage = text:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync() end) if success then return filteredMessage elseif errorMessage then print("Error filtering message:", errorMessage) end return false end game.ReplicatedStorage.Filter.OnServerInvoke = sendFiltered()

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm pretty sure this isn't your fault. Since you can't control filtering, This just means the service is down. Right now (Friday-Saturday) is a really common time for this to happen, so just wait a while and it should be back. Pojoto 329 — 5y

Line 36 is wrong. You need to remove the () as this is assigning OnServerInvoke to false, or the returned message. By removing the () you are assigning OnServerInvoke to the function itself and not what it returns. User#19524 175 — 5y
