Does not create imagebutton

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The imagebutton is not created and parented to the scrolling frame
Script:

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Item = game.ServerStorage.Inventory[player.Name]:GetChildren()

print(player.Name)

for i = 1, #Item do
	local NewItem = script:WaitForChild("ImageButton"):Clone()
	NewItem.Name = Item[i].Name
	NewItem.Image = Item[i].TextureId
	NewItem.TopLabel.Text = Item[i].Name
	NewItem.Parent = script.Parent
end

there are no error

Can u send a screenshot of your explorer so I can see how you have it and so I can test it out

One thing I just noticed is that when you made the player variable, i dont recommend using that method to get the player try

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
#7

it is a server script​​​​​

#8

can you tell me what you’re trying to do?

Try using:

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Item = game.ServerStorage.Inventory[player.Name]:GetChildren()

print(player.Name)

for i = 1, #Item do
	local NewItem = script.ImageButton:Clone()
	NewItem.Name = Item[i].Name
	NewItem.Image = Item[i].TextureId
	NewItem.TopLabel.Text = Item[i].Name
	NewItem.Parent = script.Parent
end

WaitForChild isn’t needed in server Script

#10

still no work​​​​​

#11

I think it’s because print(player.Name) is erroring, try removing it and see if it works

#12

it does not error i tried it work it isnt print​​​​​

#13

Hopefully this will work then:

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Items = game.ServerStorage.Inventory[player.Name]:GetChildren()

print(player.Name)

for _, Item in Items do
	local NewItem = script.ImageButton:Clone()
	NewItem.Name = Item.Name
	NewItem.Image = Item.TextureId
	NewItem.TopLabel.Text = Item.Name
	NewItem.Parent = script.Parent
end
#14

can you tell me what you’re trying to do so I know exactly what this code is for and then test it properly.

#15

no luck​​​​​​

#16

If the Inventory is empty the loop won’t run, please show us the Inventory so we can help you

#18

What isn’t working though? I’m not seeing any potential issues at the moment

#19

it does not create the image button and supposed to parent to scrollingframe
image

#20

the image buttons are getting parented to the image buttons. change the parent to .Parent.Parent

EDIT: Ive just read the above bit, move the code to a local script.
