Help with variables? [closed]
I was trying to print the names of the models in my set that I have by using GetUserSets method but I keep getting a error saying:
Workspace.Script:8: attempt to index global 'Model' (a nil value)
Why is it showing vairble Model as nil?
InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
UserSets = InsertService:GetUserSets(1077607)
Set = UserSets[1] -- Think of this like a tablet Set 1 = 1 Set 2 = 2 and so on
SetId= Set.AssetSetId
Collection = InsertService:GetCollection(SetId)
for i = 1,10 do
Model = Collection[i]
AssestId = Model.AssestId
print(AssestId.Name)
end

So, to begin - trust Lua. It is nil. You can see this yourself if you printed Model. You'd also see something useful, something like this:
1203523 10358234 1203481 nil Workspace.Script:8: attempt to index global 'Model' (a nil value)
The reason is probably that your result, Collection is a list fewer than 10 things in it. But, you ask for all the way up to Collection[i]. Asking for an index which isn't in a table will result in nil.
Instead, go up to the length of the table:
for i = 1, #Collection do

Thanks for the help,but now it won't print any of the names why? kevinnight45 550 — 9y

`assetId` is a number, so `assetId.anything` doesn't make sense. To get the name, use `model.name` not `assetId.Name` BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

As an addenum, kevinnight, I suggest looking up generic for loops, which are designed for iterating through tables, like you do here. adark 5487 — 9y
