What is

ApplesCollected

Character Limit

Already, check the screenshots and as you can see it works.

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:26pm

appleAmount = 15, from server script you can check it (30 crs)…

domboss37 · July 17, 2021, 10:27pm

I meant to say
applesCollected

sorry

Yxnviction:

local module = {
addApple = function(appleAmount, appleValue)
		if appleAmount ~= nil and appleValue ~= nil then
			local remainingApple = appleValue.Value + appleValue
			if remainingApple > 0 then
				applesCollected(appleValue, remainingApple)
		else
				appleValue.Value = remainingApple
		end
	end
end
}
return module

You don’t return in the addApple function so it returns just nil

True this might be the issue good eye

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:28pm

I don’t think it’s the problem of applesCollected since the print works the same, all values and etc, the thing is I can’t get how to add or do - from modules, since if I just use plr.Apples.Value = module.addApple(15,appleValue) it works without any errors which is weird.

Try what @UnknownParabellum said try returning the apple value (or apples collected)

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:30pm

I tried do it also, still the same error which is insane.

Mb, didn’t see that

Could it be possible that you may be creating the Values on the client instead? And the server wouldn’t be unable to detect them that way perhaps?

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:31pm

I never would do this weird mistake. Everything is based of module and server side only.

domboss37 · July 17, 2021, 10:31pm

Do you still get the error if you call the module like this:

module.addApple(appleAmount, 15)

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:32pm

It will be the diff error such as: Number can’t get value(that’s why I said before the module checking everything and it can’t be the issue)

HellishCrime · July 17, 2021, 10:34pm

I dont think you have to have this line of code if appleAmount ~= nil and appleValue ~= nil then

domboss37 · July 17, 2021, 10:34pm

What if you try removing the .Value from this:

local remainingApple = appleValue.Value + appleValue

And just call the module with: module.addApple(appleAmount, appleValue.Value)

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:34pm

It’s in the same time funny and makes me confused, if I just do for example:

plr.Apples.Value = module.addApple(15, appleValue) ITS WORKS but then how it will add the X value?

So then we should do: plr.Apples.Value += but if we do it then the error appears.

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:35pm

It’s checking if I forgot to add something then it will print me ‘appleAmount nil’ or ‘appleValue = nil’

domboss37 · July 17, 2021, 10:36pm

What are you using AppleAmont for as your adding appleValue.Value with appleValue

Here:

local remainingApple = appleValue.Value + appleValue

Yxnviction · July 17, 2021, 10:36pm

Still the same error, so I believe is module script works pretty good and it can’t make any issue which is makes me sick, so the mainly problem is on server side and I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

Jackscarlett · July 17, 2021, 10:37pm

Not sure what else the issue could be then

A place file to reproduce it could be helpful, otherwise I’m unsure on where the error may lie
