Script not detecting Instance

Hello everyone.

This has been driving me crazy lately and I can’t find what’s wrong. It’s literally supposed to work but it doesn’t.

Single line of script:

This is happening for some odd reason:

It’s there for Clientside:

Serverside also:

So what could possibly be wrong here? There’s nothing that deletes the Item or something. Before that line of code I am checking if there’s an instance called “Item” in the PlayersItem folder. It detects it. But then it suddendly doesn’t anymore?

What I see though is that if I check the type of the Item, it prints this:

I expect the item to be an instance, right? (I used type() above) But it prints Userdata instead?

Where are your screenshots from?
Are you looking in the Player in the workspace, or in the Player in the Player Service folder?

Youre setting Item to an object. Did you mean to write Item.Parent?

btw type() returns the basic type of things, using typeof() would return Instance.

you could try using waitforchild()? There’s not much information to go off of

As @DoorsPro_Bacon and @Iegendarystudio mentioned try using waitforchild() for the instance Item as the folder is being created on the character which may take longer and you forgot to parent Item using item.Parent.
