I mean the object, ObjectValue, and I cannot add to it, for instance I can initialize it but not use it:
objectVal = workspace.ObjectValue
objectVal.Value = workspace.part
but here, when I try to use it:
thingName = objectVal.Value.Name
print(thingName)
Output:
nil
How would I do objectVal.Value.Name without returning nil?
Properties are case-sensitive. edit: parts, models, and any instance are case sensitive too
workspace.ObjectValue.value = workspace.Part
would not work because value isnt a property, but may be a part.
workspace.ObjectValue.Value = workspace.Part
would work because Value is a property, while value isnt. (uppercase and lowercase matters.) Hope that helped! edit: workspace.part is lowercase too, so it doesnt exist, therefore making it nil (unless the part is actually lowercase)
I think I just mightve mispelled it but in the actual code I have an uppercase one, although that is not the problem
good answer, exactly what i was thinking
workspace.part is lowercase too, so it doesnt exist, therefore making it NIL
no, thats correct, I just want to know how I would do objectVal.Value.Name
dont make the thingName a variable, just put it like this: print(objectVal.Value.Name)

the main point is the very bottom of the question: How would I do objectVal.Value.Name without returning nil?
just write it correctly. workspace.part is lowercase TOO.
