So, I made this script that's supposed to block the player's screen and kick them.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    if player.Name == "Player1" then
        screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", player.PlayerGui)
        textbox = Instance.new("TextBox", screenGui)
        textbox.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255,0,0)
        textbox.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
        textbox.Text = "No one wants you here."
        wait(.1)
        player:Remove()
    end
end)

But it keeps coming up with this error: 19:32:46.149 - CoreGui.RobloxGui.CoreScripts/Settings:410: attempt to index a nil value Could someone tell me what it means?

Well a nil values means the value doesn't exist. For example, if I made a script like so:

gui.Visible = false

I would get a nil value because gui is variable that has not been defined before the script calls for it. I recommend checking over everything to make sure it's not a "nil value". Also if you could tells us which line the output console says this is happening on that would make our life's easier.

Bman, this has not helped at all. I've checked everything over before, there is not a nil value. And I DON'T know what line it's on. It doesn't say! THIS is what I needed help with. I know what it means when it says a value is nil, but nothing of the part before it. I was needing help figuring out of what the error meant, you didn't help at all. ImmenseKassing 120 — 10y
