Error with PlacementService [Re]

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m using PlacementService with a tutorial, but at 9:00 when the button is pressed, I get an error instead of the expected output.

Error here:

  ReplicatedStorage.Modules.PlacementService:899: attempt to index nil with 'Clone' - PlacementService:899
  Stack Begin
  Script 'ReplicatedStorage.Modules.PlacementService', Line 899 - function activate - PlacementService:899
  Script 'Players.PizzaArmy333.PlayerGui.BuildUI.clientPlacement', Line 21 - function place - clientPlacement:21
  Script 'Players.PizzaArmy333.PlayerGui.BuildUI.clientPlacement', Line 25 - clientPlacement:25
  Stack End

Line 899:

object = self.Prefabs:FindFirstChild(tostring(ID)):Clone()

i can provide more info if needed

What is your code? It’s most likely not a problem with a module, but a problem with your own code.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local modules = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Modules")
local models = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Models")
local placementModule = require(modules:WaitForChild("PlacementService"))

local placement = placementModule.new(
	2,
	models,
	Enum.KeyCode.R, Enum.KeyCode.X, Enum.KeyCode.U, Enum.KeyCode.J
)

local button = script.Parent.Place

local plot = workspace.Plots.Plot1
local plotOBJ = plot.Plot
local itemHolder = plot.itemHolder

local function place(obj, stack, rot)
	placement:activate(obj, itemHolder, plotOBJ, stack, rot)
end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	place("part", true, false)
end)

Do you have an object named part in the prefabs?

No, I kinda just went in blindly, but i dont see anything named Prefabs parented to the module

Sorry, I’ve never used PlacementService before, but did the Models folder come with a capitalized name?

The tutorial creator said he was using lowercase to type easier, and the folders were manually added it didnt come with the module

It’s because you’re trying to reference a model named “part” when you have a model named “Part”.

Code:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local modules = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Modules")
local models = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Models")
local placementModule = require(modules:WaitForChild("PlacementService"))

local placement = placementModule.new(
	2,
	models,
	Enum.KeyCode.R, Enum.KeyCode.X, Enum.KeyCode.U, Enum.KeyCode.J
)

local button = script.Parent.Place

local plot = workspace.Plots.Plot1
local plotOBJ = plot.Plot
local itemHolder = plot.itemHolder

local function place(obj, stack, rot)
	placement:activate(obj, itemHolder, plotOBJ, stack, rot)
end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	place("Part", true, false)
end)
