Attempt to index local 'player' (a nil value) error?

Asked by

I'm trying to make it so that when the button is clicked, it checks if the text typed in was correct, and then creates a hint saying that said team wins. Here is my code: (this is inside of a TextButton gui btw)

gui = script.Parent.Parent
button = script.Parent

function onClicked(player)
    if script.Parent.Parent.box.Text == "Winner" or "WINNER" then
        local hint = Instance.new("Hint", workspace)
        hint.Text = player.Team.Team .. " wins!"
        gui.Enabled = false
        wait(5)
        hint:Destroy()
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked)

Output: Players.Brad_xv.PlayerGui.Challenge2.button.Script:5: attempt to index local 'player' (a nil value)

This is inside a script so instead of game.Players.LocalPlayer, is gui.Parent.Parent. 9mze 193 — 4y
