Working on an OOP module for my game that is supposed to replace .Touched but it brings up this error?
ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Classes.Hitbox:41: invalid argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)
local Hitbox = {}
Hitbox.__index = Hitbox
function Hitbox.new()
local self = setmetatable({}, Hitbox)
self.hit = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
self._connections = {}
return self
end
function Hitbox:startQuerying(parts)
for index, part in ipairs(parts) do
if table.find(self._connections, index) then
continue
end
table.insert(self._connections, RunService.PreSimulation:Connect(function(deltaTimeSim)
local partBoundsInBox = Workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(part.CFrame, part.Size, overlapParams)
for index, part in ipairs(partBoundsInBox) do
if not part:HasTag("Ball") then
continue
end
self.hit:Fire(part)
Hitbox:disconnectAllConnections()
end
end))
end
end
function Hitbox:disconnectAllConnections()
for index, connection in ipairs(self._connections) do
connection:Disconnect()
table.remove(self._connections, index)
end
table.clear(self._connections)
end
function Hitbox:destroy()
self:disconnectAllConnections()
self = nil
end
return Hitbox
function Hitbox:disconnectAllConnections()
for index, connection in ipairs(self._connections) do
connection:Disconnect()
table.remove(self._connections, index)
end
table.clear(self._connections)
end
this function, in the ipairs loop, in this function if I print self._connections, it says “nil” but I don’t know why
It might be something overriding the table during one of the functions, or a race condition, or it might not be initialising properly, try putting this at the beginning of your disconnectAllConnections() function and see what it prints:
if type(self._connections) ~= "table" then
warn("self._connections is not a table. It is:", type(self._connections))
return
end
