How do i return a variable inside a function that is inside an if statement

#21

its not finding i removed it and it errored it said attempt to call nil val

#22

fixed it it just prints nil nil nil

#23

which line?
Because it’s one of the reason the code isn’t working
Pcall isn’t solving anything

#24

What do you expect when you aren’t giving it any arguments?

#25

dude im giving it arguments im returning 3 values

#26

local Occupied, EnemyHumanoid, EnemyHMR = FindTarget.FindEnemy()

#27

Where are the arguments?

	local Occupied, EnemyHumanoid, EnemyHMR = FindTarget.FindEnemy(TowerHumanoid,TowerTorso,Range,“Auto”)

This will work

#28

local module = {

FindEnemy = function(TowerHumanoid,TowerTorso,Range,Type)
	local Occupied = false
	local EnemyHumanoid 
	local EnemyHMR 		
	
	for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.Rigs.Zombies:GetChildren()) do
		EnemyHumanoid = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		EnemyHMR = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if EnemyHumanoid then
			if Type == "Auto" and (TowerTorso.Position - EnemyHMR.Position).magnitude <= Range then
				print("FoundEnemy")
				if not Occupied then
					Occupied = true
					EnemyHMR.DescendantRemoving:Connect(function()
						Occupied = false
					end)
				else 
					break
				end
			elseif Type == "SemiAuto" and (TowerTorso.Position - EnemyHMR.Position).magnitude <= Range then
				print("FoundEnemy")		
			end
		elseif (TowerTorso.Position - EnemyHMR.Position).magnitude > Range then
			Occupied = false
		end			
	end
		
	if Occupied then 
		print("Returning")
		return Occupied,  EnemyHumanoid, EnemyHMR 
	end
end

}

return module

while wait() do
pcall(function()
local Occupied, EnemyHumanoid, EnemyHMR = FindTarget.FindEnemy()
FindTarget.FindEnemy(TowerHumanoid,TowerTorso,Range,“Auto”)
print(FindTarget.FindEnemy())
if EnemyHumanoid then
PlasmaRay.Transparency = 0.1
Dist = (TowerTorso.Position - EnemyHMR.Position).magnitude
PlasmaRay.CFrame = CFrame.new(script.Parent:WaitForChild(“PlasmaGun”):WaitForChild(“Spinner”):WaitForChild(“Start”).WorldPosition,EnemyHMR.Position)*CFrame.new(0,0,-Dist/2)
PlasmaRay.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,Dist)
TowerHMR.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(TowerHMR.Position,Vector3.new(EnemyHMR.Position.X,TowerHMR.Position.Y,EnemyHMR.Position.Z)) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0)
PlayStance:Stop()
PlayAttack:Play()
EnemyHumanoid:TakeDamage(20)
script.Parent:WaitForChild(“DamageDealt”).Value += 1
game.ServerStorage.GiveMoney:Fire(1)
script.Parent:WaitForChild(“PlasmaGun”):WaitForChild(“PlasmaBall”).Transparency = 0.8
elseif Occupied == false then
PlasmaRay.Transparency = 1
script.Parent:WaitForChild(“PlasmaGun”):WaitForChild(“PlasmaBall”).Transparency = 1
PlayAttack:Stop()
PlayStance:Play()
end

	TowerTorso:WaitForChild("Info"):WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Top"):WaitForChild("TotalDamage").Text = "DMG: "..script.Parent:WaitForChild("DamageDealt").Value
	TowerTorso:WaitForChild("Info"):WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Top"):WaitForChild("TowerName").Text =  script.Parent:WaitForChild("TowerName").Value
	TowerTorso:WaitForChild("Info"):WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Bottom"):WaitForChild("Owner").Text =  script.Parent:WaitForChild("Owner").Value
end)

end

here

#29

Just replace this piece of code without arguments and paste

local Occupied, EnemyHumanoid, EnemyHMR = FindTarget.FindEnemy(TowerHumanoid,TowerTorso,Range,“Auto”)
#30

dude im passing args there and returning it

#31

Maybe you could just me a screenshot of your code?
