Help attempt to index nil with 'Visible'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

Basically means in this line:

Workspace.Wood Crate.Script:60:

Is a long running script.

#22

It still the same error like before

#23

Which error? If its the exhaustion time then send me the script inside workspace.Crate line 60.

#24

what i have to do to fix that ? delete that script

#25

yes its error at line workspace.Crate line 60

#26

U misspelt ScriptTimeoutLenght length.

#27

how can I misspelt I literally copy it from you

#28

i need to run it when before the game start or when the game start ?

#29

So few things:

Could u specify the error msg

If it is exhaustion time send me the script inside workspace.WoodCrate

Is my code causing th error.

#30

okay when i typed the run bar code is working properly but there is error that same with the title of this post. Its attempt to index nil with ‘Visible’

#31

Hello did you found any way to fix this thing ?

#32 
while hatfound == false do
		for i,v in pairs(hatModule.rarities) do
			if math.random(1,v) == hatNumber then
				local str = hatModule.hats[i].Name
				hat = str:gsub(" ", "")
                hatfound = true 
			end
		end
	end

@Luaxkw must work now

#33

if findfirstcild finds nothing then it returns nil end

local found = parent:FindFirstChild('name')
if found then
print'something if found'
else
print'nothing is found'
end
#34

Did you try it in studio before you post it in devforum ?

Hi there, I am wondering why you look for UIS in the starterGui. Starter gui is used for the local scripts, and you should enter player.PlayerGui instead. I am not sure if this works, but try.

The issue comes because the file you are looking for is not declared properly

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local clickdetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DataModule = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DataModule"))
local hatModule = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HatModule"))
local hatname = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Hats")
local hatimgplace = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").CrateGui.HatsImage

local hatInventory = {}


local function ChosenHat(player)
	
	local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	local CrateGui = playerGui.CrateGui
	local crateIcon = CrateGui.cratehatch
	
	local timer = tick()
	
	crateIcon.Visible = true
	
	while tick() - timer < DataModule.CrateOpeningLenght do
		wait(.1)
		crateIcon.Rotation = math.random(-9,9)
	end
	
	
	

	
	crateIcon.Visible = false
	local hatNumber = math.random(1,100)
	local hatfound = false
	local hat = nil
	while hatfound == false do
		for i,v in pairs(hatModule.rarities) do
			if math.random(1,v) == hatNumber then
				hatfound = true
				hat = i
			end
		end
	end
	
	
	crateIcon.Visible = false
	local hatImage = hatimgplace:FindFirstChild(hat)
	hatImage.Visible = true --error
	wait(2)
	hatImage.Visible = false -- also this I think
		
	
	return hat
	
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	
	if player.leaderstats.Robux.Value >= DataModule.CommonCrateCost  then
		player.leaderstats.Robux.Value = player.leaderstats.Robux.Value - DataModule.CommonCrateCost
		
		local hatOpened = ChosenHat(player)
		
		print(hatOpened)
		
		local hats = hatname:FindFirstChild(hatOpened):Clone()
		table.insert(hatInventory, hatOpened)
		print(hatInventory)
		hatOpened.Parent = player
	end
end)

i already did it but can it works if I put it :WaitForChild

#37

Yes, as it will wait with loading until it has found the specific item you are looking for.

#38

I cant, i hav school work thts why the results rnt always accurate, its pure guesswork. I hope u understand.

P.S I hope i fixed it now, heres the code to replace.

while hatfound == false do
		for i,v in pairs(hatModule.rarities) do
			if math.random(1,v) == hatNumber then
				local item = hatModule.hats[i]
                local str = math.random(1, #item).Name
				hat = str:gsub(" ", "")
                hatfound = true 
			end
		end
	end

Also one thing, try to make ur hatimg name corresponding to the hat name. My code will fix tht, except for ur redsparkletime fedora or smth

#39

His issue is a issue with a ui calling nil, not his handler.

#40
