Asked 160 views1 answers

So im trying to make an effect when a part touches the ground however i keep getting this error "Workspace.Ball.Script:8: attempt to index a nil value"

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    wait(1) 
    game.Workspace.Ball:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
    if hit.Parent.Name == 'Balls' then
        game.Workspace.Ball:Remove().Parent = game.Workspace
        --effects go here
    elseif hit.Parent.Name ~= nil then
        game.Workspace.Ball:Remove().Parent = game.Workspace
        --effects go here
        end
    end)

Because you are removing the ball then you are trying to index the Parent of the ball then set it

Also Remove is a deprecated method

You're getting that error because the :Remove() function has no return value, and you tried to index it as if there were a return value. I think you meant to clone the object and not remove it. However if you need to remove an object use :Destroy() as :Remove() is deprecated. 

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    wait(1) 
    -- game.Workspace.Ball:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
    if hit.Parent.Name == 'Balls' then
        game.Workspace.Ball:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
        --effects go here
    end
end)
