'Attempt to index a nil value' but nothing is nil?
I'm working on a system that runs a RemoteEvent when a gui button is pushed.
Here we have a simplified version of my script that should provide all non functioning details.
local rem = "!armspurchase"
local user = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Armors = {"GoldArmor", "SteelArmor"}
for i = 1, #Armors do
local Pass = user.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:findFirstChild(Armors[i].Name).TextButton
Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild(rem):FireServer(user.Name, Armors[i].Name)
end)
end
For some reason, even though everything is accounted for, it tells me that I'm trying to index a nil value on line 8???

You created an array holding Armour Types. I assume these Strings are relative to the Names of each Child iterated in ReplicatedStorage. The answer to your problem is simple, you tried to use .Name on a String inside a table. The table’s element isn’t an Object defined with this property therefore it would be a nil property.
Simply enough it would still translate to the Armour Type without .Name so just remove that, and you’re good to go!

Try to index the remote with a local. this can be:
local rem = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("RemoteName")
after this you just need to fire the remote.
local rem = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("RemoteName")
local Armors = {"GoldArmor", "SteelArmor"}
local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
for i,v in pairs(Armors) do
v.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
rem:FireServer(Plr[v])
end)
end
Test that out
