Dictionary views itself as Nil

[Kyoobuyu_Shurai (KyoRolls)]

Hello, Weird issue i’m having with this line of code:

TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Config

local DialougeSystem = {}

function DialougeSystem.TypeWrite(plr ,Text)
	local XAxis = 0
	local YAxis = 0
	
	Config = {
		["Text Size"] = UDim2.new(1 / 50, 0, 1 / 5, 0),
		["Text Offset"] = UDim2.new(0, 0, -1 / 5, 0),
		["Text Speed"] = 10, -- Letters Per Second
		["Text Float Duration"] = 1,
		["Default Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"], Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
		["Slow Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] / 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
		["Fast Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] * 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
	}

Why is Config seen as Nil?

The Config variable isn’t createduntil it gets to the closing }.
Try having all the variables that dont’ try to call config in the initial {}, then have the other ones added after the fact, by doing Config[“Fast Tween Information”] = TweenInfo.new(Config[“Text Float Duration”]… and so on.

While you are defining Config,

@Kyoobuyu_Shurai

Config = {
		["Text Size"] = UDim2.new(1 / 50, 0, 1 / 5, 0),
		["Text Offset"] = UDim2.new(0, 0, -1 / 5, 0),
		["Text Speed"] = 10, -- Letters Per Second
		["Text Float Duration"] = 1,
		["Default Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"], Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
		["Slow Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] / 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
		["Fast Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] * 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
	}

you are also using Config

@Kyoobuyu_Shurai

		["Default Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"], Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
		["Slow Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] / 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),
		["Fast Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] * 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0,false,0),

Which is what im assuming is the error. Since config isnt defined yet you cant use it. Try defining the first 4 thingy majigys first and then add the ones that rely on config to config after that.

Which would look something like:

function DialougeSystem.TypeWrite(plr ,Text)
	local XAxis = 0
	local YAxis = 0

	Config = {
		["Text Size"] = UDim2.new(1 / 50, 0, 1 / 5, 0),
		["Text Offset"] = UDim2.new(0, 0, -1 / 5, 0),
		["Text Speed"] = 10, -- Letters Per Second
		["Text Float Duration"] = 1,
	}

	Config["Default Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"], Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
	Config["Slow Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] / 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
	Config["Fast Tween Information"] = TweenInfo.new(Config["Text Float Duration"] * 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
end

Thank you both! Didn’t know the dictionary isnt created until }
