I want to make a script that turns the player the into a ball, but after trying to test out the script, I get this error message that doesn’t allow the rest of the script to play out. I added a message in the script that’s supposed to print when the entire script is done, but it doesn’t play when I test it out.
script:
local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local h = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local humanoid = plr.Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local currenstate = humanoid:GetState()
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local debounce = false
local seat = script.Parent.RollBallScript.Seato
local ball = script.Parent.RollBallScript.RollBall
local dash = script.Parent.Dash
local stomp = script.Parent.Stomp
local function buttonPressFunction()
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
seat:Clone()
seat.Parent = workspace
ball:Clone()
ball.Parent = workspace
local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
Weld.Parent = seat
Weld.Part0 = seat
Weld.Part1 = ball
dash.Disabled = true
stomp.Disabled = true
seat.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0,0,0)
ball.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0,0,0)
print("Rooooooooooooolling around")
end
wait(10)
debounce = false
dash.Disabled = false
stomp.Disabled = false
end
local button = cas:BindAction("DashButton", buttonPressFunction, true, Enum.KeyCode.F,Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX)
cas:SetPosition("DashButton", UDim2.new(0.58, -80, 0.15, -20))
error message: Seato is not a valid member of LocalScript “Workspace.hjfghhgglosthisuser.RollBallScript”
Can you send a screenshot of the exporer please.
Scripts that run on the client might not get everything replicated in by the time the local script is running. To be safe, you can use parent:FindFirstChild(‘Seato’) to check if a child exists, or :WaitForChild(‘Seato’) if you know that the child should exist.
Well that solved my first problem, but another problem appeared. This error message shows up:
You are trying to call “clone” on a variable that is not an object but nil. Similar issue as above, you’d want to make sure that the item exists before trying to do something with it.
local seat = model:FindFirstChild('Seat')
if seat then
-- Seat exists, so you can do stuff with it.
end
or if you know for a fact that seat exists, and you just need to wait for it to replicate:
local seat = model:WaitForChild('Seat')
-- Seat exists, so you can do stuff with it.
I got another error. Is there something wrong with the entire script?
Nope, same thing, you are trying to use the CFrame of a variable that is nil, instead of an object as expected. You’ll want to do the same method as above, but for the object that you are trying to use the CFrame of on the line that the error points to.
It is perfectly normal for scripts to use :FindFirstChild() to make sure that things exist, so don’t be afraid to do it to everything.
The ball doesn’t show up but there’s no error messages. The message at the end even got printed! It also doesn’t seem to work after it prints
current script:
local h = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if seat then

Put more print statements inside of the code, after some checks to see which checks failed, and then try to figure out why the checks might be failing.
