Attempt to index nil with "Value" error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I was scripting a scrap collect and sell system for my friend today until I became stumped at a error.
It said: "Workspace.Demo.Trash & Scrap.Barrel.ProximityPrompt.ScrapScript:20: attempt to index nil with ‘Value’.
Heres the code and the line where it had a problem with highlighted.

Problem 1:
You’re checking if PlayerScrapValue exists, and if it does, then it makes a new value. You should only be doing it if it doesn’t exist.

Problem 2:
If the player doesn’t have the ScrapValue, the value would be nil. That’s why it’s erroring.
You should check if it doesn’t exist, and if it doesn’t, set the Amount to Scrap.Value.

Thanks so much, now I realize I just had to change line 15 to Scrap.Value = 0 + ScrapAmountValue and line 11 to if PlayerScrapValue == nil then and remove lines 17 & 18. Have a good day! :wave:
