Why are these teams not equal?

So basically, I have a player whose team is Red. And then there's a soldier whose team is also Red. In this short script I want to compare the teams. I tested this script in team Red and right clicked on this soldier and for some reason it does not print out "Selected by same team!" And it DOES print out for print(hitterTeam) and print(soldierTeam) Red. And it also prints out "false" for print(selected). I wanna know why hitterTeam is not equal to soldierTeam.

view source
01humanoid = script.Parent
02soldier = humanoid.Parent
03soldierTeam = soldier.Team.Value --This is red
04cd = soldier.ClickDetector
05local selected
06 
07cd.RightMouseClick:connect(function(hitter)
08    local hitterTeam = hitter.Team
09    print(hitterTeam)
10    print(soldierTeam)
11    while selected == false do
12        print(selected)
13        wait()
14        if hitterTeam == soldierTeam then
15            print("Selected by same team!")
16            selected = true
17        end 
18    end
19end)

For more context, questions will be answered!

Also... even without the while loop, it would still not work!

I'm think you are trying to compare the teams base on the team's name. If yes, then the hitterTeam should be like this: local hitterTeam = hitter.Team.Name -- this will return the team's name. Block_manvn 395 — 5y

I just realize Player.Team will return the Team object base on Player's Team. So you can do like I said before(maybe...) Block_manvn 395 — 5y

Apparently that worked! Thanks lad! If you post that in the answers below I'll confirm it as the answer! rabbi99 714 — 5y

soldierTeam appears to be a nil value and are not defined, hitterTeam is indexed, they are two different values and are not equal to each other.

soldierTeam = "Red" Forgot to mention that. So it couldn't be nil. rabbi99 714 — 5y

selected is also not defined, what other errors are you having in the output? moo1210 587 — 5y

Would probably help more if we saw the full script, especially the parts where things like selected and cd are defined. Torren_Mr 334 — 5y

Okay for the people who don't understand yet. player.Team refers to game.Teams.[team the player is in] . So, it's not a string but a thing.
