local SpawnRoller = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("SpawnRoller")

local Rollers = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Rollers")

local RollerSpawns = workspace:WaitForChild("RollerSpawns")

end)

I’ve tried waiting until the folder has every object it should have but nothing works

Error: local ClonedRoller = Rollers:FindFirstChild(Roller):Clone()

#2

add if not Rollers:FindFirstChild(Roller) then return end a line before the ClonedRoller

#3

Still nothing spawns

extra text…

#4

local ClonedRoller = Rollers:FindFirstChild(Roller):Clone()

Have you tried enclosing (Roller) with quotes?

local ClonedRoller = Rollers:FindFirstChild(“Roller”):Clone()

FindFirstChild expects a string input, not an instance

#5

The issue is that for some reason only 3 rollers are rendered within the game engine and idk what is causing this

#6

whats the another script of the roller?

`local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

end)`

The issue is that for some reason Roblox is not rendering the objects into the folder and only 3 of the objects get rendered (the same 3 each time)

it just means that the Roller variable, which i guess is a string doesnt match any instance names in the Rollers Folder. which will return nil and nil can’t use Clone().
