Function returning nil after being called by a new function?

[sillycodergirl (Alice)]

Hello! I’m having this issue where this function was returning correct values before but now it is only returning nil

Everything needed is properly referenced and in the right area (trust me I quadruple checked)

Below is the problematic function

local function AddPlaceholderTower(name)
	print("Tower", name, "has been requested")
	local towerExists = Towers:FindFirstChild(name)
	print(towerExists) -- Line 42
	if towerExists then
		print("Tower", name, "does exist and has been spawned")
		towerToSpawn = towerExists:Clone()
		towerToSpawn.Parent = workspace

		for i,object in ipairs(towerToSpawn:GetDescendants()) do
			if object:IsA("BasePart") then
				PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(object, "Tower")
				object.Material = Enum.Material.ForceField
			end
		end
	end
end

Below is the function calling the function

for i, tower in pairs(Towers:GetChildren()) do
	local button = GUI.TowerList.Template:Clone()
	button.Name = tower.Name
	button.Parent = GUI.TowerList
	
	print(tower.Name)
	
	button.Activated:Connect(function()
		AddPlaceholderTower(tower)
		print(button.Name.." clicked") -- Line 74
	end)
end

Below is the output:

  09:44:04.599  Scout  -  Client - GameController:70
  09:44:04.599  Spinbot  -  Client - GameController:70
  09:44:06.963  Tower Scout has been requested  -  Client - GameController:40
  09:44:06.965  nil  -  Client - GameController:42
  09:44:06.965  Scout clicked  -  Client - GameController:74

Solved!! I used “tower” instead of “Tower.Name”!!!
