You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
- What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I reprogramed a part of my game to have a object spawn in and fly to the player and had the backend that gives money fire from there instead of when clicking an object, the error in question is "Workspace.Make Tree.tree.Money Collect Effect.move:16: attempt to index nil with ‘Money’ " (Or whatever the first line of code is after task.wait)
- What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
My code works absolutely fine, Just it throws errors for no reason, I like keeping my console clean to make debugging easer.
- What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I cant find any fix to my issue as most solutions are “your code has bad implementations”
local part = script.Parent
local pos = part.Position
local PDH = require(game.ServerScriptService.PlayerDataHandler)
-- Move 5 studs to the nearest player's position
local function moveToNearestPlayer()
if MoveToPlayer then
--move .1 studs towards the player + 1/10th of the distance left to the player's position
local newPosition = part.Position + (MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Unit * 1.07
part.Position = newPosition
--destroy this object if within 1 stud of the player's position
if (MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Magnitude < 1 then
task.wait(.1)
script.Parent.Money:Play()
script.Parent.BillboardGui.Enabled = false
script.Parent.Beam.Enabled = false
local Earnings = script.Earnings

This is the code that causes the exact error I mentioned before
local part = script.Parent
local pos = part.Position
local PDH = require(game.ServerScriptService.PlayerDataHandler)
-- Move 5 studs to the nearest player's position
local function moveToNearestPlayer()
if MoveToPlayer then
--move .1 studs towards the player + 1/10th of the distance left to the player's position
local newPosition = part.Position + (MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Unit * 1.07
part.Position = newPosition
--destroy this object if within 1 stud of the player's position
if (MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Magnitude < 1 then
task.wait(.1)
script.Parent.BillboardGui.Enabled = false -- swapped this
script.Parent.Money:Play() -- and this
script.Parent.Beam.Enabled = false
local Earnings = script.Earnings
local EarnClone = Earnings:Clone()
EarnClone.displayCash.Enabled = true
EarnClone.Name = tostring(script.Parent.DeliverAmount.Value)
EarnClone.Parent = Plr.PlayerGui.Economy
money.Value += script.Parent.DeliverAmount.Value
PDH:Increment(Plr, "money", script.Parent.DeliverAmount.Value)
task.wait(2)
script.Parent.Money:Destroy()
part:Destroy()
end
end
end
local function BackMoveToNearestPlayer()
if MoveToPlayer then
--move .1 studs towards the player + 1/10th of the distance left to the player's position
local newPosition = (part.Position + (MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Unit * -.1)
part.Position = newPosition
--destroy this object if within 1 stud of the player's position
if (MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Magnitude < 1 then
part:Destroy()
end
end
end
script.Parent.BillboardGui.Enabled = true
ranMove1 = math.random(-1,1)
ranMove2 = math.random(.8,1.5)
ranMove3 = math.random(-1,1)
MoveToPlayerName = script.Parent.Parent.User.Value
Plr = game.Players:WaitForChild(MoveToPlayerName)
MoveToPlayer = Plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
script.Parent.Beam.Attachment1 = Plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):WaitForChild("RootAttachment")
leaderstats = Plr:WaitForChild('leaderstats')
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash $")
part.Parent = workspace
for i=47,0,-1 do
task.wait(0.001)
script.Parent.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector3.new(ranMove1*i/200,ranMove2*i/200,ranMove3*i/200)*(MoveToPlayer.Position - part.Position).Magnitude/50
end
script.Parent.Beam.Enabled = true
for i=22,0,-1 do
task.wait(0.001)
BackMoveToNearestPlayer()
end
while true do
task.wait(0.001)
moveToNearestPlayer()
end
This is the exact same code just with 2 lines flipped and it gives the error “Workspace.Make Tree.tree.Money Collect Effect.move:16: attempt to index nil with ‘BillboardGui’”
I have no Idea why it’s doing this, as I’m not attempting to index anything, and it still does everything else just fine. even play the sound. the error is only thrown after the 2nd task.wait() after its wait time.
