Which code line does the error points to?

3

line 58 in server side which is:

elseif price > player.leaderstats.Coins.Value and not game.ServerStorage.OwnedItems[player.Name]:FindFirstChild(item) then

line 6 in the client side which is:

local outcome = rep.Remotes.sale:InvokeServer(selecter.Value)

This just means that the folder containing the player’s name is not in ReplicatedStorage. Make sure it’s in there.

This is the culprit: Screenshot_2021-11-18-12-36-08-84_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12

The error means that something that you’re looking for is not there. In your case, when doing Owneditems[player.Name], it looks for a child named player.Name inside of OwnedItems. Except its not there, and that’s why it errors.

How do i make the player’s name in present in the replicatedStorage? Also thank you for the clarification.

It sounds like you just copied that code out of nowhere and expect it to work.

Please make sure the logic of presenting the player’s name in ReplicatedStorage is working as intended if you made it.

fyi i didnt copy the code , i actually wrote the code by myself. With no help, i got alot errors and i fixed all of them except this error.

11

You put it there yourself. You can use a StringValue to accomplish that.

12

Try game.Players instead of game.ReplicatedStorage. Cuz u parented OwnedItems folder to player.

local items = Instance.new("Folder", player) -- player is in game.Players
	items.Name = "OwnedItems"

Hey everyone, I Fixed my error, thank you for helping me. What i did was i made a variable and set it’s value as the player’s name. Now it works.
