I have a portion of a script that whenever I do print(playerplate) it returns nil.
local currentplates = plateholder:GetChildren()
for i, player in pairs(contestants) do
if player and player.Character and #currentplates > 0 then
local torso = player.Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local playerName = player.Name --This is the player's Name
print (playerName) --This prints the players name
local playerplate = currentplates.playerName --This finds the part whose name is the same as the players name
print (playerplate) -- This prints the name of the part, which returns as nil

try currentplates[playerName] if you try to index a variable through another variable.
or you could do local playerplate = currentplayes[player.Name] if that one above doesn't work
Hmm. I tried both and it still returns as nil.
What exactly are currentPlates children?
It seems like playerplate is an object and you're trying to print an object. Try this instead: print(playerplate.Name)
It appears that playerplate is a nil value and that is why it is still not working.
