Why can't I access this in the folder?
So I have a folder "Character" which stores a folder called Class
This Folder Stores:
- Other Folders
- A string value that's called "CharacterClassName"
It's very strange that I get the error below too, because when I do a print statement above the line where I get the error, it prints it perfectly. The print statement is:
print(CharacterFolder.Class.CharacterClassName.Value) print(CharacterFolder.Class.CharacterClassName.Name)
So for some reason I am getting this error:
02:23:44.107 - CharacterClassName is not a valid member of Folder
When I write this block of code:
1 | -- Creates Character Folder |
2 | local function CreateNewCharacterFolder(player, ChosenClass) |
3 | local CharacterFolder = game.ServerStorage.Character:Clone() |
4 | CharacterFolder.Parent = player.PlayerDataFolder |
5 | CharacterFolder.Name = "Character "..CharacterNumberPresent |
6 | -- The lines where I get the error are below |
7 | CharacterFolder.Class.CharacterClassName.Name = ChosenClass |
8 | CharacterFolder.Class.CharacterClassName.Value = ChosenClass |
9 | end |

Do :WaitForChild("") On each of them, because the script might load before the objects load. Or do wait(1) in the start of the script, but the first option is better (script will work faster)

Read the wiki page for :WaitForChild() if you don't understand what it is. sahar1213 72 — 5y

Oh I’ll try that tomorrow when I wake up. I always forget about Waiting sometimes. Hopefully it works. SethHeinzman 284 — 5y

Yeah it makes sense too since print statements are read after the code is read through. SethHeinzman 284 — 5y

Arbritrary waits are never the solution. It simply hides the problem instead of fixing the solution and may not actually fix the solution hiimgoodpack 2009 — 5y

This was the right solution for this scenario, only because I cloned the values right before I tried to access them. SethHeinzman 284 — 5y
