Attempt to call a table value(what?)

Asked 887 views1 answers

I'm making the script so the rocket can finnaly liftoff™. But i'm running into this:

19:56:26.883 - Workspace.R1Upgrade-1.LaunchScript:23: attempt to call a table value

This is line 23 and everything related to it:

				local speed = 0
				speed = speed * 1.01
				script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(
					script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame + Vector3(
					script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position.X,
					script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position.Y + speed,
					script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position.Z
					))

I'm really confused.

Lua Objects are essential arrays with metamethods to modify the data. Vector3 is one of these Objects. You forgot to initiate the Object with it’s constructor .new(), meaning it isn’t returning any complete userdata, leaving only the array to stand. That is causing your Attempt to call a table flag.

local speed = 0
speed = speed * 1.01
script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(
    script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(
    script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position.X,
    script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position.Y + speed,
    script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position.Z
))
