Hello, so i’m currently trying to show some objects on a ViewportFrame but the output keep on saying: attempt to index nil with ‘Position’ here is my script:

local pet = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model")
local viewportframe = script.Parent
local cam = Instance.new("Camera")
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(pet.PrimaryPart.Position + (pet.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 4) + Vector3.new(1,1,1) ,pet.PrimaryPart.Position)
cam.Parent = viewportframe
viewportframe.CurrentCamera = cam

Thank you!

I think the problem is that the pet maybe don’t have a primary part?

Try adding a :WaitForChild() to see if it just loads slowly, but if it says “Infinite yeild” then it has no primarypart at all.

Do you mean something like this?

local pet = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Pet1")
local camera = Instance.new("Camera")	
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(pet.PrimaryPart.Position + (pet.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 4),pet.PrimaryPart.Position)
camera.Parent = script.Parent```

i did but it still saying Attempt to index nil with ‘Position’

No, i meant like this:

local Primary = pet:WaitForChild("PrimaryPartName")
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Primary.Position + (Primary.CFrame.lookVector * 4),Primary.Position)

Replace PrimaryPartName with the name of the primary part. As you cant just do :WaitForChild(“PrimaryPart”)

Are you sure it doesn’t say “Infinite yeild” or anything like that?

In whatever case it means that you have no primarypart for the pet

Where is the pet stored?
If it is in workspace it might have fallen down

When doing :FindFirstChildOfClass(“Model”) it might give you something else, try just doing :FindFirstChild(“Pet Name”)

Didn’t you earlier say

Is the button and script in replicated storage? scripts don’t run there

Oh.

The only problem i can see here is that you actually do not have a primarypart of the pet. I see no other reason to why it errors

There is maybe another script that removes it? That’s the only cause i can think of.
