" attempt to index boolean with 'Value' " Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to check if my boolean value is set to true whenever a certain Bindable Event fires and gets received.The problem is that I keep getting this error whenever it checks it in the if statement:

Sections Of My Script (Placed In ServerScriptService):

-- Where I declare the boolValue
local raceInProgress = ServerStorage.RacingSystemStorage.RaceInProgress

BindableRaceEnd.Event:Connect(function(PlayerThatTouched, PlayerName)
	if raceInProgress.Value == true then -- Where the error happens

Any clue why this is happening, and how to fix it? Thanks for the help in advance.

Are you setting to raceInProgress anywhere else in the script? This error doesn’t make sense given the context.

Yes, I use it throughout the (rather large) script. In the other parts of the script I change the value from false to true, etc. and there’s no error. So I find it strange why it would error here and not elsewhere.

What line does the error say the problem is located on?

If you change the variable to true/false, and not its .Value property, that’d cause the error. Make sure it’s always referring to the BoolValue and never a boolean. (e.g., ctrl+f for “raceInProgress =”)

Ahhh thanks very much! I found out that in another part of the script, I was setting the variable to true/false, so it must’ve caused the error like you said. Sigh… that was a dumb error by me haha

You have a good week! And thanks again.
