LuaU type checking warnings problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’ve recently been working a decent amount with LuaU, but I’ve encountered some problems with my UI local scripts.

I’ve defined various parts of my UI as local variables, and then inserted their type. However I get a warning for doing this. W000: Type 'Instance' could not be converted to Frame (or whatever the type I put in)

I’m not entirely sure what is causing this, however if I set their type to Instance I get warnings later down the line that say Instance does not have the property Size (or whatever property I am changing)

Does anyone know exactly the reason for this? Is it a bug potentially or am I doing something wrong!

Thanks in advance, kingerman88

Script 
local player = Players.LocalPlayer;

local root:Frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Main"); --luau what?

local holder:Frame = root:WaitForChild("Holder");

local inProgress:Frame = holder:WaitForChild("InProgress");

local resourceSelection:Frame = holder:WaitForChild("Resources");

local slots:Frame = holder:WaitForChild("Slots");

Comment: If I use a service and do

local remote:RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent");

it works perfectly fine with no warning

Just exit out of studio and open it again.

I’ve done that before, doesn’t seem to want to change the warnings. But thanks for the suggestion :slight_smile:
