Argument 1 missing or nil

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m having this error popping up even though the argument in question exists, and can be read by print() (Edit: I’m trying to make an optimized version of my gun script)

function FireLoop()
	while equipped and firing and reloading == false do
		print(PM.Hit.Position)
		ARE:FireServer(PM.Hit.Position, workspace.CurrentCamera:WaitForChild(VM.Name):WaitForChild(wepeq.Name).Barrel.ShootThing.CFrame) -- This is where the error is, the argument in question (argument 1) exists
		firing = GunConfig.ShootType.IsAutomatic
		task.wait(60 / GunConfig.ShootType.RPM)
	end

	firing  = false
end

Hello. I’m sorry, but I have trouble identifying the issue here.

#3

Either VM or wepeq are nil. Make sure they aren’t nil, this error is coming from WaitForChild.

I might need to see more of the script to help further.

#4

PM (Which is GetMouse()) is missing or nil

#5

VM Exists and wepeq exists, although the names that are associated in these variables are changing

here’s more of the script:

BE.Event:Connect(function(Equipped, truth)
	if truth then
		equipped = true
		wepeq = Equipped
		GunConfig = GunTable[Equipped].GunConfig
		VM = RS.VMs:WaitForChild(Equipped.."VM"):Clone()
		VM.Parent = Camera
		MRE:FireServer(wepeq, equipped)
	else
		equipped = false
		ViewModel = Camera[VM.Name]
		ViewModel:Destroy()

	end

end)
