Attempt to index nil with 'IsA' error?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, fella devs,

I am trying to make a shop system like Piggy/Teddy, but it keep giving me a weird error. I wonder why it says attempt to index nil with 'IsA'. Here is the script

Callback:

local status
	if btn:IsA("TextButton") or btn:IsA("ImageButton") then
		status = checkStatus(btn)
	end

Function:

local function checkStatus(btn)
	if btn.Info.Status.TextColor3 == colors["red"] then
		return "Selected"
	elseif btn.Info.Status.TextColor3 == colors["green"] then
		return "Owned"
	elseif btn.Info.Status.TextColor3 == colors["yellow"] then
		return "For Sale"
	elseif btn.Info.Status.TextColor3 == colors["neutral"] then
		return "Off-Sale"
	end
end

I still don’t get it. Why does it keep giving me the error?

get rid of the end on the calback. also it means btn is nil/not in the function/variable environment

#3

The callback script has a extra “end” on it (Last line)

#4

that is not the error. I just put the end in the last line. Stpid me

#5

try printing it and if it returns nil then you might have changed the variable somewhere in the script

print(btn.Name)
#6

New errorimage

#7

oh, its a nil meaning you might have unset or changed the value somewhere

#8

Idk what is the problem. But Im sure this is the cause of the error.image
It need to duplicate the template and set the parent to a targeted screen. Maybe the child didn’t parented at the same time. I also tried if btn:FindFirstChild("Info) then but still didn’t work

#9

wait, how did you set the variable? did you set it by script.Parent.Parent… or did you do it by locating the TextButton?

edit: is the script inside the button?

image

#11

is the script inside the button?

#12

It inside MenuGui > Shop(Frame) > CharacterShopLocal(The script)

#13

so the script is not inside the button?

#14

Yes, absolutely. Why? is the script supposed to be in the button?

#15

yes the script that clones gui to player gui should be inside the script so instead of locating it to the player gui you can just type script.Parent

#16

I don’t understand, this script is from @GnomeCode Teddy Shop script and I just edit it. Why is it still has the error?

#17

oh so you didn’t write the script? hmm wait

#18

wait, in here what script did you think i was talking about?

#19

the Function script and the Callback script

#20

function script for what exactly
