I’m making an order system, where the player can order from the menu, and it will pop up on a ScreenGui. For some reason I keep getting the error in the title, could anyone help?

I’m also not very good at returning, could someone also confirm I’m using returning correctly?

local OrderMenu = {}

local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local modules = repStorage:WaitForChild("Modules")

local queueModule = require(modules:FindFirstChild("_Queue"))
local frameSample = repStorage:WaitForChild("OrderSample")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function getChildrenOfClass(_uiSample, class)
	local returnedClass = {}
	for index, v in pairs(_uiSample:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA(class) then
			table.insert(returnedClass, v)
		end
	end
	return returnedClass
end

OrderMenu._UpdateClients = function(player, orderItem)
	local playerGui = player.PlayerGui
	local orderBack = playerGui.OrderGui.Back
	local orderScrollingFrame = orderBack.ScrollingFrame
	local orderSample = frameSample:Clone()
	
	local nonQueueItems = getChildrenOfClass(orderScrollingFrame, "Frame")
	local _amountOfNonQueueItems = #getChildrenOfClass()
	
	local _samplePositions = {
		UDim2.new(0.029, 0,0.039, 0);
		UDim2.new(0.026, 0,0.391, 0);
		UDim2.new(0.027, 0,0.752, 0)
	}
	
	if _amountOfNonQueueItems < 3 then
		orderSample.PlayerName.Text = player.Name
		orderSample.OrderItem.Text = orderItem
		
		local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
		local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
		local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId, thumbType, thumbSize)
		
		orderSample.PlayerAvatar.Image = content
		
		orderSample.Position = UDim2.new(_samplePositions[_amountOfNonQueueItems])
	end
end

return OrderMenu

The first parameter you’re passing through this function is nil getChildrenOfClass(_uiSample, class)

How is that nil? When I called it I passed through 2 parameters

Passing 2 parameters to a function does not guarantee they are not nil. Check where you’re calling the function because the issue is there.

5

What is class, because I don’t see it.

It’s in the function parameters

Print out orderScrollingFrame before it goes through the function to check if it’s nil or not

Nevermind, still gives the same error.

Is it printing out nil?
