RoboBug is not a part of Folder in OnTouched script?
Hello. i need to play animation and change object, but i got: ``RoboBug is not a part of Folder But actually this model is inside of folder Here is the code:
01 | local robobug = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.RoboBug |
02 | local h = robobug.humanoid |
03 | local animation = robobug.Animate.walk.WalkAnim |
04 | local animationTrack = h:LoadAnimation(animation) |
05 | local eye1 = robobug.Eye1 |
06 | local eye2 = robobug.Eye2 |
07 | local e1 = robobug.e1 |
08 | local e2 = robobug.e2 |
09 |
10 | function OnTouch() |
11 | robobug.Animatronic_AI.Disabled = false |
12 | animationTrack:Play() |
13 | eye1.Color3 = e1.Value |
14 | eye2.Color2 = e2.Value |
15 |
16 | end |
17 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(OnTouch) |
(I know, maybe I'm big noob in coding, but please help).

Solution
The problem is probably because the instance does not exist before the code therefore when the code looks for it then it will throw an error.
Use WaitForChild which is a member of all Instance types.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Instance/WaitForChild
Example:
1 | local robobug = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("RoboBug") |
2 | local h = robobug:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |
3 |
4 | --// and so on |
If this doesn't work then you probably identified the location to RoboBug incorrectly. Make sure to start at your script and visually work up one level every .Parent and then back down if you index something inside the parent.
