Help with TD original name script

[GoodGuy21938 (NobodyInParticular)]

so, I have a part in my upgrade script, where it sees if it has an original tower value, if so it makes the name to that. but, it errors out “attempt to index nil with ‘Name’”.

		local ogTower = config.OriginalTower
		if ogTower then
			gui.Selection.TName.TowerName.Text = ogTower.Value.Name --here error
		else
			gui.Selection.TName.TowerName.Text = selectedTower.Name
		end

basically, ogTower.Value doesn’t exist. without more script, we don’t know what’s wrong, we need more evidences

[GoodGuy21938 (NobodyInParticular)]

basically, if its an upgrade, it should make the tower Name text the Name of the ogTower. It is an objectValue.

try to print ogTower.Value to see what’s printing

[RxsidentAspect]

In order to help, we need more parts from the script, at least the ogTower value or config table. And seeing the output would be useful to fix.

[GoodGuy21938 (NobodyInParticular)]

its printing out nil even though that the upgrade still has the ogTower value.

[GoodGuy21938 (NobodyInParticular)]

[Boustifail]

the ogTower.Value is still in the workspace when it prints? it doesn’t get deleted?

[GoodGuy21938 (NobodyInParticular)]

OH! good point! when it upgrades, it gets rid of the original tower.

Then you will need to re assign the value

[GoodGuy21938 (NobodyInParticular)]

it just needs to be a string value instead, and itll work just fine.

if you have the solution, do not forget to flag it. This way, if someone else need the same solution, he will be able to see it
