So I am trying to make a loading screen for my game, however sometimes when I run my game, “script.Parent:TweenSize” comes out as nil, and exclusively on line 25. I do not have a clue on how to fix this.

Here’s the script:

Could you add a print statement to check what script.Parent is referring to? It could be because the Parent is not valid (Or visible) to the script?

Try doing

Enum.TweenSize

So I put:

‘’‘lua
print (script.Parent.Name)
‘’’

in the script and the parent’s name came out just fine

wait the problem was because I did

lua script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()

in the middle of the script
