Ummm... My "Kick or Pass" door won't work for some weird reason... Any ideas?

So, I am making a "Dev Lair", were us devs can reuse assets, control weather, etc. (I don't wanna do this via GUI). BUT, it's hidden, like so.

I am using an invisible part to either let people in or kick people. It also has a Lock feature, where I may choose to not let other devs in, either.

My code is simple and basic for any experienced dev, so here we go:

view source
01local locked = script.Parent.Locked -- A "Bool Value"
02 
03-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04script.parent.touched:Connect(function(t)
05 
06    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(t.Parent)
07    local rank =plr:GetRankInGroup(3326074)
08 
09    if rank >= 19 and locked.Value == false then
10        script.Parent.CanCollide = false
11 
12    elseif rank >= 19 then
13        plr:Kick("THIS HAS BEEN LOCKED BY SOME OTHER DEV (or hacker)! HA!")
14 
15    else
View all 26 lines...

"Locked" is a Bool Value, if you couldn't tell.

Now, if we move to the Output log, things get VERY confusing indeed...

17:14:00.903 - Workspace.Terrain.DevLair.KickWall.Script:10: attempt to index upvalue 'locked' (a boolean value)

17:14:00.904 - Stack Begin

17:14:00.904 - Script 'Workspace.Terrain.DevLair.KickWall.Script', Line 10

17:14:00.905 - Stack End

So, I ask: " WHAT IS AN "upvalue???! "

And, also, can somebody please help me figure out how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Rename your BoolValue to something else. The script is thinking you are using the Locked Property of parts.

It is erroring because you are checking if a Boolean has a Value where you need to check if a BoolValue has a Value.

view source
1--error
2local x = true --because Part.Locked is a bool property
3print(x.Value)
4 
5--success
6local x = Instance.new('BoolValue')
7print(x.Value)

I'm gonna put it as loocked. Hope that works... I do believe that will fix it though. GamingZacharyC 152 — 5y
