Attempt to call number value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am making a answer checker for my game and then in the for loop on line 14: for i,x in pairs() it errors on attempt to call number value. Can someone help? Here is my current code:

for i, v in pairs(data) do
		local new = string.lower(answer)
		if v.question == Status.Value then
			for i, x in pairs(v.answers) do
				if new == x then
					print(answer.."True")
				end
				if new == x then
					local sound = script.AnsweredSound:Clone()
					sound.Parent = player.PlayerGui
					sound:Play()
					local length = #answer
#2

Which line errors on your script?

This one:

#4

This means x.answers is a number, not a table, try checking your other scripts.

#5

But it is a table. This is the module script:

local data = {
	[1] = {
		question = "Name an item a multi-millionare would buy",
		answers = {"yacht", "super yacht", "mega yacht", "real estate", "lamborghini", "bugatti", "house", "home", "mansion", "private jet", "chef", "maid", "butler"},
	},
	[2] = {
		question = "Name a country in Eastern Europe",
		answers = {"russia", "ukraine", "belarus", "romania", "moldova", "finland", "estonia", "latvia", "lithuania"},
	}
}

Are you sure it errored on that line? The error doesn’t seem to fit with that line.

#7

I am 100% sure it errored on that line.

#8

The error should only appear if you’re doing this:

But i am not.

Could you screenshot the output with the error and the script?

Edit: here is the entire script which contains line 45 if you want.

local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status
local data = require(game.ReplicatedStorage["Questions/Answers"])
local Question = Status.Value
local StepsFolder = workspace.StepsFolder
local plrs = {}
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist


local function CheckAnswer(player,answer)
	for i, v in pairs(data) do
		local new = string.lower(answer)
		if v.question == Status.Value then
			for i, x in pairs(v.answers) do
				if new == x then
					print(answer.."True")
				end
				if new == x then
					local sound = script.AnsweredSound:Clone()
					sound.Parent = player.PlayerGui
					sound:Play()
					local length = #answer
					for i = 1,length do
						task.wait(0.1)
						local step = Instance.new("Part")
						step.Parent = StepsFolder
						step.Anchored = true
						step.Color = Color3.new(0.901961, 1, 0.576471)
						step.Name = "Step"
						step.Size = Vector3.new(5,1,5)
						params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {StepsFolder,workspace.Game}
						local rayres = workspace:Raycast(player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position,Vector3.new(0,-8,0),params)
						step.CFrame = rayres.Instance.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
						if i == length then
							game.ReplicatedStorage.TweenTransparency:FireClient(player,length)
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.SendAnswer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,answer)
	CheckAnswer(player,answer)
end)

Like a screenshot with your entire screen, including the output.

#13

Including with the script or the actual gameplay?

#14

Just a screenshot of your entire screen with the script and the output.

#15

I can’t really do that, since my game is 2 player only it requires 2 players and opening scripts in the team test just shows its blank.

#16

try replace v.answers with v[2]

#17

I have a random question generator so I can’t rlly do that either.

#18

Random generator replacing the names of the tables inside the table?

#19

v[2] will index the second value in the table which is answers
