Hi, all. This script is throwing the error “attempt to index number with ‘name’”. The purpose of the script is to detect a specific type of magazine in the player’s inventory and then change the magazine count in the actual firearm to +1 for each magazine detected.
while true do
wait(1)
if script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent)
for i,v in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if i.Name == "9mm" then
script.Parent.Mags.Value = script.Parent.Mags.Value + 1
end
end
end
end
The error means that you have mistaken i and v in a for pairs loop. For GetChildren(), it returns an array and sets i to the index (place number) and v to the object (value) you’re looking for.
All you need to do is change i.Name to v.Name and you’re done
If you use an in pairs loop, the i is the index of the table you’re looping through. The index is basically the number of the item you’re (or the table) is dealing with. (e.g. the first item’s index is 1, the second’s 2, etc. Basically their order.)
I’m pretty sure you accidentally put i instead of v when you indexed the name.
You can also memorize their roles by knowing that i stands for index,
and v stands for value.
(I should also mention that these letters are variables, so you can change them to anything you want. But their purpose never changes)
