I want to be able that, when a player clicks on a GUI (Build), they teleport to a part that has an ObjectValue, in this case their username Though, I always get the error: "attempt to index up Value 'Plot'" or "Infinite yield possible on WaitForChild["Plot.Value"]"

I am a beginner btw, here is my script:

01local Plot = game.Workspace.Plots:GetChildren()
02local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
03local Location = game.Workspace.Plots:GetChildren()[script.Parent:WaitForChild("Plot.Value")]
04local Character = player.Character
05 
06script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
07    for i,plt in pairs(workspace.Plots:GetChildren()) do
08        if plt then
09            if plt.Plot.Owner.Value == player then
10                wait(1)
11                Character:MoveTo(Location.Position)
12                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound1.CanCollide = true
13                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound2.CanCollide = true
14                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound4.CanCollide = true
15                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound5.CanCollide = true
16                script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
17                script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ExitBuildMode.Visible = true
18                script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ExitBuildMode.TextLabel.Visible = true
19            end
20        end
21    end
22end)

In your WaitForChild("Plot.Value"), you gotta remove the "", else it's actually going to search for something named "Plot.Value" instead of using the value property of Plot. RubenKan 3615 — 6y

Sooo what's wrong here, :FindFirstChild(this is a paramater) takes a string value (a string value is any chracter "inside this") as a paramater, and that value is the Name of the object that you're looking for. Putting "Plot.Value" as a value will make your script look for a part that's named Plot.Value its not taking the code inside the " " cuz anything that's inside those will not excute as a code, for a example if we do "print(game.Workspace)" this will act up as a string value and the code will just read it as one. Get it? I hope you did.

This is waht you gotta do

`1`	`script.Parent:WaitForChild(Plot.Value)`
