Yes! I got access to forum posting and replying. Now i my question can finally be answered! I’ll try to keep my first post as good and as clean as possible.
You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I have two errors i want to fix. -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I have a furniture placement system, and when i place something, it errors with “ServerStorage.PlayerData.hasanchik:85: attempt to index number with ‘RedCube’” the furniture placement system is a good module, namely zblox164’s placementsystem v3 and it does wonders. There is nothing wrong with that module, but the serverscript placement handler errors with the previous error mentioned, although that uses my playerdata module.
and "Players.hasanchik.PlayerGui.MainGui.Frame.ShopFrame.ScrollingFrame.ShopHandler:149: attempt to index nil with ‘X’ " which is a error from my shophandler.
The first error i have never seen, so i cant and dont know how to fix it. The second error errors because the data isnt simply there, i think.
-
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried googeling it multiple times in multiple ways, looking at the devforum, scriptinghelpers, but they all were similair but unrelated issues.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
Error 1: ServerStorage.PlayerData.hasanchik:85: attempt to index number with ‘RedCube’

THe last part is unbearable to write because of the weird amount of lag. Now at this time i’m writing this it takes seconds for my words to appear. How do i fix this???
