Script cant find values?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a script (I have tried local and not) in starter player scripts and a configuration with values inside of the player. The point is for these to hold some key stats for the player. I have tried putting them in starter character, starter character scripts and starter player scripts. For some reason my script cannot find them, giving me the error message: “(Stat) is not a valid member of Configuration”

Any fixes? Im sure im doing something wrong I just cant figure it out

Can you show your code? I would also check if using WaitForChild solves your problem.

Two possibilities are:

  • If the script that is getting these stats is a server script, then of course you cannot because StarterPlayerScripts can only contain LocalScripts, which don’t replicate to the server. The stats can’t be seen by the server.
  • Perhaps you placed that script somewhere where it runs before the stats are created.

The error happens on the last 2 lines, where I am trying to access the value from within the stats holder.

I used wait for child, and I have checked during run time and seen them there.

#6

What about the script that creates the stats?

#7

There is no script, I just placed a configuration into the player that has values in them

#8

Is the value created on the server or client?

#9

Placed in before run time in the explorer, not sure if thats client or server side or either

#10

Huh you cant just do that right?
Make a script on the server thats add the values to each player.

Pretty cluttered and full, any specific part you want?

“(Stat) is not a valid member of Configuration”
Very weird error, there is no part in the script with the name stat

#15

That is just a placeholder lol, it will say armor or speed or whatever other stat name I have, for that code it says armor since thats the first stat shown

#16

Oh my bad lol
Send the whole hierarchy please

#17

I cant even fit the whole hierarchy, any part you need, player at runtime player scripts etc?

#18

Just the values from the configuration you mentioned

They are now in the player as I did the method you mentioned of a script and assigning them there, the original script has been updated for that
