ServerScriptService.DictonaryHandler:6: attempt to index nil with 'Stunned'

Pretty simple but I just cannot tie my head around the current issue that the Dictionary is going through.

Here’s the script.

Dic = require(script.Dictonary)

local DictonaryHandler = {}

function DictonaryHandler.find(Player, Action)
	return Dic[Player][Action]
end

function DictonaryHandler.add(Player, Action)
	if not  Dic[Player][Action] then
		Dic[Player][Action] = true
	end
end

function DictonaryHandler.remove(Player, Action)
	if Dic[Player][Action] then
		 Dic[Player][Action] = nil
	end
end

return DictonaryHandler

In your DictionaryHandler function, print out Player and Action to make sure they aren’t nil.

Well, it’ll print out the players name, and that they’re stunned.

My best guess as to what is going on is maybe the script doesn’t know that Dic[Player] is a dictionary. I’ve had a similar issue before and configuring the table usually helps:

function DictonaryHandler.add(Player, Action)
    if not Dic[Player] then
		Dic[Player] = {}
	elseif not Dic[Player][Action] then
		Dic[Player][Action] = true
	end
end

I tried something and somehow it worked out. I just switched the values to be [Action][Player] instead of the other way around.

Dic[Player] is nil when the code runs, which means the Player isn’t added to the dictionary yet or has left the game.
