So I am trying to make a card game from Roblox, my main script is set to select all 52 cards of a random deck (there are many different decks with different colors for the cards) and insert all the cards to a table, the game will give each player their amount of cards (in this case 2 for poker) and will never give out the same card twice, there is more to it than this and it has to be table-based. At the end of every round, the script must remove all the cards from the table so that they can be replaced with different cards from a different deck. i tried using a for loop and table. remove but I got an error because it expected an object and not a number. I then tried to use
for i = 1, #cardsInRound do --cards in the round as in the cards loaded from the deck cardsInRound[i] = nil end
this works just fine but the next round I get this error
16:34:50.476 - The Parent property of S8 is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent gameCards
(s8 is a card, the 9 of spades, it works with a number score system)
if it makes a difference this is the code that loads the cards, there are only two themes ATM but I plan on adding many more in the future, this code is really simple but is causing me a lot of problems
function LoadCards()
if cardTheme == 0 then
for i = 1, #redCards do
table.insert(cardsInRound, redCards[i])
end
else if cardTheme == 1 then
for i = 1, #blueCards do
table.insert(cardsInRound, blueCards[i])
end
end
end
end
thanks for any help!

Please insert the ENTIRE code that you’ve tried with setting the table value to nil. Something must’ve went wrong, this should never happen.
A quick google search reveals that that error supposedly appears when you try to reparent somthing too quickly. @SmartNode is right, can you post the full code?
sure, this is really all the code that has anything to do with the removal though
