My If statement won’t run. In the console it says…

Players.Seeker4050.PlayerScripts.LocalScript:10: attempt to index nil with 'arent'

Here is the source code.

10. if Hit.Parent.Configuration.Class.Value == "Tree" then

Here is the entire code.

1. -- Seeker4050

2. -- Data --

3. local StarterGui = game.StarterGui -- Grabs the StarterGui

4. local Info = StarterGui.ScreenGui["Info Channel"] -- Grabs the Info Text

5. local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
6. local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() -- Get the Mouse

7. -- Main --

8. Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function(Hit)
9. 	
10. 	if Hit.Parent.Configuration.Class.Value == "Tree" then -- Check if an objects Class in config is Tree
11. 		
12. 		local Tree = Hit.Parent -- Get the Tree
13. 		
14. 		Info.Text = Tree.Name .. " - " .. Tree.Configuration.Health.Value -- Set Info Text to the info in Configuration
15. 		
16. 		Info.Visible = true -- Set the Info Visible
17. 		
18. 	end
19. 	
20. end)

Looks like a typo mistake to me, are you sure that you didn’t type “arent” instead of “Parent”?

I’m a little confused. What are you doing with hit? Do you want to get the mouse target? That would work with mouse.Target.

The Mouse.Button1Down event does not have any parameters.

That’s true the Mouse.Button1Down event does not have parameters. This helped my code a lot.

#6

I am sure this isn’t a typo mistake. Parent is being typed the correct way.

#7

Ok, this worked but now the Infobox doesn’t come out when it’s true.

#8

When you set the Info.Visible = true, the Info part should be visible. When you set Info.Visible = false, the info part should be invisible.

But this didn’t work after configuring the text. It says Info.Visible = true Don’t know what is wrong.

Is this a Server sided request or Client sided?

#10

Both. Try a print() to check if the request is even sent.

3. local StarterGui = game.StarterGui -- Grabs the StarterGui

4. local Info = StarterGui.ScreenGui["Info Channel"] -- Grabs the Info Text

5. local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
6. local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() -- Get the Mouse

7. -- Main --

8. Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

11. 		
12. 		print("Tree Target Found.")
13. 		
14. 		local Tree = Mouse.Target.Parent -- Get the Tree
15. 		
16. 		Info.Text = Tree.Name .. " - " .. Tree.Configuration.Health.Value -- Set Info Text to the info in Configuration

oh i see. you need to use:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Info = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui["Info Channel"]

StarterGui is what every new player gets at the beginning.
PlayerGui is the already cloned GUI inside the player. (so what you actually see)

Another error…

Error: 09:41:09.642 ScreenGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui "Players.Seeker4050.PlayerGui"

Edit: In the Explorer the ScreenGui is in the PlayerGui

#14

maybe add a WaitForChild.:
player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")["Info Channel"]
