I have this bit of code, i'm trying to find the child of a part with the same name as a string value. How do I fix this?
local gui = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('UI2')
local ArmorName = gui.Frame.Armors.EquipScript.armorname.Value
local armors = game.ServerStorage.Armors:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #armors do
if armors[i].Name == ArmorName then
--do stuff
end
I got a similiar code from someone when I asked a question here at Scripting Helpers and now I just changed it so it fits for your needs. Hope this helps!
for i, v in pairs(armors) do
if v.Name == ArmorName then
--do stuff
end
end
This is good but it really depends on its use. If you just want to find the armor name and make it do stuff you don't have to write a table for this.
I'm merely repeating the comments but anyways. Localscripts are scripts that are meant for the client/user. Serverscripts are, you guessed it, meant for the server. Both scripts have access limitations in them, for example, LocalPlayer does not exist in a serverscript while ServerStorage contents are inaccessible in a localscript.
A simple counter to your situation is to use remotes.
A localscript will gather information from the GUI and pass it as an argument to a remote stored in ReplicatedStorage.
The remote will have two parameters, the client who invoked the remote (automatically provided; "client") and the name of the armor ("ArmorName").
Run this when it is invoked:
ArmorModel = game.ServerStorage.Armors:FindFirstChild(ArmorName)
-- Do Stuff
If there is only 1 armor with that name then just do game.ServerStorage.Armors[ArmorName]
Whoops, I'll fix that.

is this a server script or local script
if it's a local script,you cant access the ServerStorage
if it's a server script, you can't access a localplayer
It's a server script in server storage, and don't worry, the localplayer is called from a remote event so that definitely is not a problem.
