Attempt to concatenate nil with string

#1

I was just making a award command with webhook but then it gave me a error. (look to the title), My code is below.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		local args = msg:split(" ")
		local plruser = args[2]
		local user = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plruser)

		if args[1] == "-award" and plr:GetRankInGroup(33075577) >= 228 then
			if user then
				local currentValue = user.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Exp")
				local fields = {
					{
						['name'] = "Info",
						['value'] = "User: " .. plr.Name .. "\nRank: **" .. plr:GetRoleInGroup(33075577) .. "**",
						['inline'] = true
					},
					{
						['name'] = "Award Info",
						['value'] = "User Awarded " .. user.Name .. "\nAward added: **" .. script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive:FindFirstChild("Value") .. "** EXP."
					}
				}

				currentValue.Value += script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive.Value
				print(" --[ Awards ]-- ")
				print("     Gave "..user.Name.. " "..script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive.Value)
				print(" --[ Awards ]-- ")
				user:LoadCharacter()
				ws:createEmbed(url, "WARN", "This is published on 30/10/2023 11:08 pm by **RobloxSupp515**", fields)
			else
				print("Failed to award player, is it a correct user?")
			end
		end
	end)
end)

what part is nil?, whats the title?

#3

['value'] = "User Awarded " .. user.Name .. "\nAward added: **" .. script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive:FindFirstChild("Value") .. "** EXP."

#4

is it meant to be the same as this
script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive.Value

#5

if so just use a . because when your using FindFirstChild its looking for instance named “Value” not a property,

properties are always accessed with a .

#6

This like is most likely nil, i’d use debugging and watch variables.

#7

if it prints this error it means that script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive:FindFirstChild("Value") returns nil, so make sure there’s an object called “Value”
