How would I print a value from a function

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Get the multiplier value.

  2. What is the issue? https://gyazo.com/e68f67839e4c4fbc63f2c06cacf5a48d

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve looked around, I’ve checked the Developer Hub. I know what the problem is. I just don’t know how to fix it. I want to get the returned value (MULTI) but it’s trying to give me the for i, v in pairs information also.

How would I get just the returned Multi value?

local function getMultiplier(Player, Multipler1)
	
	local Multi = 0
	
	for i,v in pairs(Player.Pets:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Equipped.Value == true then
			Multi = Multi + v[Multipler1].Value
		end
	end
	return Multi
end

local multi = getMultiplier()
print(multi)

‘Player’ is nil. When you run the function getMultiplier() you must input the player as the first parementer

getMultiplier() requires 2 values to be passed to it when called otherwise the script will just throw an error.

Now it’s shooting this error.

You need to call the function and pass 2 values to it.

Ah I see, doing that right now.

Okay, so I understand how to pass values, I just don’t know what values I would be passing here for some reason.

Scratch that, my brain is just fried right now. I think I’ve got it.
