Invalid argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got Instance)

[8ntlers (antlers)]

Hello I’m making an Rng game and I was working on the tweening for the rolling but I encountered this issue which I have never seen before.

invalid argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got Instance)

This happens in the script that fires the tweening for the roll result I believe.

Line that brought up the error:

for i, effect in ipairs(rollsResult) do

Line that fires the rollsResultDisplay

showRollsResultEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(showRollsResult)

Full Script:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local showRollsResultEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ShowRollsResult")

local effectsDisplay = script.Parent.EffectsDisplay
local currentlyDisplayed = script.Parent.CurrentlyDisplayed

local targetPosition = UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.45,0)
local rollTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	0.25,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	0,
	false
)

local function showRollsResult(rollsResult)
	
	for i, effect in ipairs(rollsResult) do
		local clonedDisplay = effectsDisplay:WaitForChild(rollsResult[i]):Clone()
		clonedDisplay.Parent = currentlyDisplayed
		local tween = TweenService:Create(clonedDisplay, rollTweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition})
		clonedDisplay.Visible = true
		tween:Play()
		tween.Completed:Wait()
		if i ~= #rollsResult then
			clonedDisplay:Destroy()
		else
			task.wait(2)
			clonedDisplay:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

showRollsResultEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(showRollsResult)

What is the script that fires “showRollsResultEvent” ?, rollsResult have to be a table but its an instance.

The argument in FireClient on the server is wrong

Here:

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local rollEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Roll")
local showRollsResultEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ShowRollsResult")
local updateInventoryEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("UpdateInventory")

local chances = {
	
	--1: the #/10 = %chance
	--2: the #*10/100 = %chance
	--3: 10(1%)*the % you want
	
	["Common"] = 500; -- 50% chance
	["Uncommon"] = 250; -- 25% chance
	["Rare"] = 125; -- 12.5% chance
	["Aquatic"] = 100; -- 10% chance
	["Epic"] = 75; -- 7.5% chance
	["Legendary"] = 50; -- 5% chance
	["Guilt"] = 25 -- 2.5% chance
	
	
}

local function roll(player)
	
	local PlayerDataFolder = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerData"):WaitForChild(player.UserId)
	local InventoryFolder = PlayerDataFolder:WaitForChild("Inventory")
	
	local listOfResults = {}
	
	for count = 1, 5, 1 do
		local random = math.random(1,1000)
		local counter = 0
		
		for effect, weight in pairs(chances) do
			counter = counter + weight
			if random <= counter then
				table.insert(listOfResults, effect)
				break
			end
		end
	end
	
	showRollsResultEvent:FireAllClients(player, listOfResults)
	
	task.wait(3.25)
	
	if InventoryFolder:FindFirstChild(listOfResults[5]) then
		InventoryFolder:WaitForChild(listOfResults[5]).Value += 1
	else
		local effect =  Instance.new("IntValue")
		effect.Name = listOfResults[5]
		effect.Value = 1
		effect.Parent = InventoryFolder
	end
	
	updateInventoryEvent:FireClient(player, listOfResults[5])
	
end

rollEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(roll)

I figured out it was a spelling mistake in one of my “Fire” events. Instead of “FireClient” I put “FireAllClients” Thank you for your assistance anyway!
