Hello! I having attempt to index nil with 'Clone', would you help me?

Im doing and Admin ‘Give Gui’, for my jojo game that will be giving stands/items, but when trying to clone item it writes error that i wrote upper.
I have an Script named ‘ItemGive’ for button
In this i written:

local v1 = script.Parent.Parent.ItemTab
local bu = v1.giveButton
local v2 = v1.chosenPlayerValue
local v3 = v1.chosenItemValue
local gV2 = game.Players:FindFirstChild(v2.Value)
local gV3 = game.ServerStorage.Items:FindFirstChild(v3.Value)

bu.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local g = gV3:Clone()
	g.Parent = gV2.Backpack
end)

Also i have script that puts nickname and item to give in stringvalue, and this explorer of givegui.

You can’t access serverstorage with localscripts.

Its Script, i wrote upper, and i shown SS of explorer when you can see that script, its “ItemGive”

#4

Then in that case I don’t believe you can call an activation event on a button through a server script.

Try using a WaitForChild, because the error is a literal statement, you’re trying to clone nothing (nil)

#6

So the variable you are trying to clone isn’t there or you made it so that the variable isn’t a thing you can clone()

#7

It’s there.

While using WaitForChild, it gives me ‘Infinite yield possible on ‘ServerStorage.Items:WaitForChild("")’’

#9

I think if it gives error with cloning, then it works.

#10

Then the item you’re trying to clone does not exist. try using a tool to clone instead and see if it works.

#11

It apparently can’t find the tool.
This could be because the value of chosenitem is not a name that can be found in the tool folder

#12

What do you mean by “Tool to clone”?

#13

ChosenItemValue gets when admin clicks on button that contains name of item, and it gets names from ServerStorage.Items, are there can be any other reasons?

#14

Are you sure the value is an object value?

#15

Nope, its string value, i thought it will work with FindFirstChild(String.Value)? And also i dont know how to use object value…

#16

Yea that should work. aaaaaaaa

#17

Found some new info, its not finding value in chosenitemvalue and chosenplayervalue, thats why nil, but when i checking in explorer while clicked on nickname/item there are a value of item and player, any variants why is it going on?

You cannot access ServerStorage locally. Try setting the RunContext of the script to Server.

#19

Do you mean by LocalScript, if you meant local script, then its Script.

Set the Script named “ItemGive” and “ItemSelect” RunContext to “Server” and tell me what happens.
