local db = true

while true do

Sorry, what I meant was how you’re defining the ObjectValue, not the player variable.

23

That doesn’t answer this question

24

oh,

local Tycoon = nil
Tycoon = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tycoon:Clone()
Tycoon.Parent = workspace.Tycoons
Tycoon.Name = Player.Name .. "'s Tycoon"
Tycoon.Player.Value = Player
Tycoon.Ball.BillboardGui.PlayerName.Text = Player.Name .. "'s Tycoon"

(this is not the entire code)

25

the player that owns the tycoon

26

What is Player? can we see where u define the Player variable?

27

Have you checked if:

Tycoon.Name = Player.Name .. "'s Tycoon"
Tycoon.Player.Value = Player

actually returns the Player.Name and if Tycoon.Player.Value is actually the player? you can check in this own script.

28

yes it does actually return it.

local function SpawnTycoon(Player)

Is the first code (The player nil one) running after that Tycoon code is ran? There could be a chance It didn’t actually edit the ObjectValue yet.

31

RIGHT, you’re right ill try it out

32

you are correct but when i try to wait until the value isnt nil it just waits infinitely @Isaque232

local db = true
local Player = (script.Parent.Parent.Player.Value)

repeat wait() until Player == not nil -- waits here forever

You are checking it the wrong way, since you’ve already defined the Player variable, and It will be nil forever because of that.

Instead you can just do this:

local db = true

repeat wait() until script.Parent.Parent.Player.Value

Which will keep checking if the actual value is not nil.
