If statement runs even when argument is not met. What am I doing wrong?
For some reason the code in the first If statement is still being run despite the fact that the argument has not been reached (y.Name isn’t Ing, yet the code still runs). When I rearrange the code the output literally says “Ing is not a valid member of mesh part” yet it still decides to run the code anyways. What am I doing wrong???
01 | game.ReplicatedStorage.IngAdded.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player) |
02 | for i,v in pairs (player.character:GetChildren()) do |
03 | for x,y in pairs (script.Parent:GetChildren()) do |
04 | if y.Name == "Ing" and v:IsA("Tool") then -- The code here still runs even though y.Name is not Ing. |
05 | v.Activated:connect(function() |
06 | Activated = true |
07 | y.Name = v.Name |
08 | print ("New Value created") |
09 | local newv = Instance.new("NumberValue") |
10 | newv.Parent = script.Parent |
11 | y.Transparency = 0 |
12 | end) |
13 | v.Deactivated:connect(function() |
14 | Activated = false |
15 | end) |
16 | elseif v:IsA("Tool") and y.Name == v.Name then |
17 | v.Activated:connect(function() |
18 | Activated = true |
19 | print ("Adding to Existing Value") |
20 | end) |
21 | v.Deactivated:connect(function() |
22 | Activated = false |
23 | end) |
24 | end |
25 | end |
26 | end |
27 | end) |

For line #2 and #3 which is.
1 | for i,v in pairs (player.character:children()) do |
2 | for x,y in pairs (script.Parent:children()) do |
:children() is deprecated.
So instead use :GetChildren():
1 | for i,v in pairs (player.character:GetChildren()) do |
2 | for x,y in pairs (script.Parent:GetChildren()) do |

------ Too late.... but you are using :GetChildren(), then you would have to for loop and check each existing child and check if one of them has the 'Name' "Ing" NickAtNick 163 — 6y

No, i change the name of ing so that it doesn't = ing, but for some reason the code still runs. DreamInspired 61 — 6y

The output literally says that y.Name doesnt = ing yet it still runs the code. I have no idea why. I've asked 4 other programmers and they cant figure it out either. DreamInspired 61 — 6y

i think this is because of the objects in line 4, "if y.Name == "Ing" and v:IsA("Tool") then", Why don't you put the if v:IsA("Tool") statement after line #2. NickAtNick 163 — 6y

(In addition) and since you are comparing both different objects in an if statement. NickAtNick 163 — 6y
