I don’t understand why my issue is occuring

its clearly there!

WaitforChild does nothing.

I’ve had this same issue before, some how dragging the script into a different section i.e. workspace, replicated storage, etc. then dragging it back to its original location fixed it for me. I have zero clue as to why this occurs and like you said I also tried different ways of getting the gui, part I want like WaitForChild(), etc.

Hope this works for you aswell!

#3

In that case could just be a studio bug or something, let me try right now!

#4

I’ve had this issue in my game for about a year, I’ve tried migrating it to different places and had the same errors.

Seems like it didn’t work? Not sure why, moved it to repstorage, played, moved it back.

#7

Try creating a completely new script, not duplicating it, etc and copy over the code, that also worked for me.

#8

Ok but I have multiple portals, and other ones work. Only this one doesn’t! should I still do that?

#9

I would still try it in my opinion

#10

Nope, still diidn’t work sadly.

#11

You said to look at line 113, but there are no line numbers displayed in copy/pasted scripts.

Spawn.Portals.Fire.Spawn is the location you show in your heirarchy, but that doesn’ t match the error location.

#12

I am sorry but now I get a different error.
World is not a valid member of Model "Workspace.__MAP.Areas.Fire.Portals.Spawn" - Client - Portal:98

Clearly it is a member.

#13

Spawn is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.__MAP.Areas.Fire.Portals.Spawn” - Client - Portal:113

Now it’s back to this, what the hell is going on?

#14

Yeah, that seems like roblox lol I’ve done this before and gotten new errors as well, try moving the parts, scripts, etc. all I can tell you to do is to fiddle around with it.

#15

You can also either try migrating it over to a different place or re-write the script in a different script. I also had to do that as well.

#16

I’m trying, it’s an amazing multi-billion dollar company!

#17

Is World actually referenced on line 98 of your Client script?

#18

self._trove:Add(self._instance.World.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
Yep!

#19

WAit hold on, for some reason this seem to have nothing in it.
I’m using streaming from roblox, how can I exclude a part?
@scottify

#20

Issue and Solution:
Roblox streaming, was able to disable it.

#21

Something like this:

local function excludePart()
    for _, part in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
        if part:IsA("BasePart") and ~= part:IsA("Part") then
               -- whatever here
        end
    end
end
