ServerScriptService.Siekiery.Scinanie:383: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got nil)
it appears here

that is a module script fired from this script:

i dont know why but in when i fire other functions from this module with plr.Name they work?

I looked at your script and problems, please be more specific.

4

Since it says (string expected, got nil) means that there nothing in that line (or the plr has not been found)

5

yeah but it worked in the previous module script function calls which means it could be roblox fault maybe idk

6

It simply means Player has not been found. To make sure this is the case, use print(PlayerName) and you’ll be returned nil.

7

yeah i did that its nil ima put the plr variable inside the function then

8

oh yea i forgot there is no plr variable

this is the plr variable

You do realize it says inavlid argument #3 which means the “badyl” variable is the undefined one, not the plr.Name.

this is badyl variable. its something with player coz it says nil, and badyl worked before so i dont think its badyl

12

also it is a local script if ur wondering

13

Just in case, run the script and add

print(ru)

somewhere in there. If it prints nil, we know that’s the problem.

14

okay let me do that real quick.

first one is wood type, second one is the badyl and third one is player name

Are you using “height” as the plr.Name in this case? If so, that isn’t a string and may be the reason it’s returning nil.

17

nope, i define player name in the next script

I’m not sure why this is nil. Maybe try getting the player’s Character’s name (should be the same anyway)
