Basic Script Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to index a BasePart called CoinOrb inside a certain script. But it gives an error saying It is not a valid member of local script...

Code:

game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').ChestEvents.ReleaseOrbs.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(pos)
	local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local Orb2 = script.CoinOrb
	local Orb = Orb2:Clone()

Help is really appreciated.

#2 
local Orb2 = script:WaitForChild("CoinOrb")
#3 
game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').ChestEvents.ReleaseOrbs.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(pos)
	local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local Orb2 = script:WaitForChild("CoinOrb")
	local Orb = Orb2:Clone()
end)

Sometimes objects don’t load into the game right away. You could use WaitForChild to wait until the game detects that the object has loaded.It will yield (pause) the script until it detects that the part is there, or if it doesn’t exist, you will get a warning message in the output.

Is the archivable property of “CoinOrb” set to true?

It isn’t when I play it. But if I test in a base plate, the coin orb is in the script. If I test it in another game, the coin orb is not in the script when I play it. It it because of the code written in the new game?

most likely check anywhere in the code where u delete it or somethn

You have to put the part inside of the script in order for it to work.

Also, you could have easily made a mistake in your code. For example, destroying the object or setting the part to another value… script.CoinOrb = game.Workspace trying to set the part itself instead of it’s parent would destroy the object.
