String expected, got nil

#1

So im trying to make each pet have a unique id and when you open an egg, it sends a value to the client.

The error:

Players.cadengamer11111.PlayerGui.Inventory.Inventory.GuiScript:28: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got nil)

Ive tried doing a bunch

The serverscript:

local template = script:WaitForChild("Template")
local inv = script.Parent
local sf = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame")
local open = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("OpenInv").ImageButton

local addPet = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents:WaitForChild("AddPet")
local removePet = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents:WaitForChild("RemovePet")

local isOpen = false

local function addToFrame(pet,idiot)
	print(idiot)
	local newTemplate = template:Clone()
	newTemplate.Name = pet.Name
	newTemplate.PetName.Value = pet.Name
	newTemplate.Parent = sf

	local newPet = pet:Clone()
	newPet.Parent = newTemplate.ViewportFrame

	local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(newPet.Position + (newPet.CFrame.lookVector * 1.65),newPet.Position)
	camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(-0.03, -0.025, 0.2)
	camera.Parent = newTemplate.ViewportFrame

	newTemplate.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera
	
	newTemplate.ID.Value = idiot
	
	local newSelectBox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
	newSelectBox.Color3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
end

addPet.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(pet)
	addToFrame(pet)
end)

open.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	if isOpen == false then
		isOpen = true
		inv.Visible = true
		inv.Position = UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.19,0)
		inv:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.155), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 0.2)
		wait(0.3)
		inv.Position = UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.155)
	else
		isOpen = false
		inv.Visible = false
		inv.Position = UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.19,0)
	end
	wait(0.3)
end)

My client script which is inside the gui with a template gui inside of it:

local template = script:WaitForChild("Template")
local inv = script.Parent
local sf = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame")
local open = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("OpenInv").ImageButton

local addPet = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents:WaitForChild("AddPet")
local removePet = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents:WaitForChild("RemovePet")

local isOpen = false

local function addToFrame(pet,id)
	local newTemplate = template:Clone()
	newTemplate.Name = pet.Name
	newTemplate.PetName.Value = pet.Name
	newTemplate.Parent = sf

	local newPet = pet:Clone()
	newPet.Parent = newTemplate.ViewportFrame

	local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(newPet.Position + (newPet.CFrame.lookVector * 1.65),newPet.Position)
	camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(-0.03, -0.025, 0.2)
	camera.Parent = newTemplate.ViewportFrame

	newTemplate.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera
	
	newTemplate.ID.Value = id
	
	local newSelectBox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
	newSelectBox.Color3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
end

addPet.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(pet)
	addToFrame(pet)
end)

open.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	if isOpen == false then
		isOpen = true
		inv.Visible = true
		inv.Position = UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.19,0)
		inv:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.155), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 0.2)
		wait(0.3)
		inv.Position = UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.155)
	else
		isOpen = false
		inv.Visible = false
		inv.Position = UDim2.new(0.094,0,0.19,0)
	end
	wait(0.3)
end)

You provided the same script twice.

May I know what’s “newTemplate.Id” if Its a StringValue
image
Change newTemplate.Id.Value = tostring(id)

If its an IntValue change It to
newTemplate.Id.Value = tonumber(id)

If this helped you please select this as the solution.

#4

You never passed a value to 2nd argument of addToFrame function. That’s why the id parameter is nil in your code.

#5

it is a string value so I think tat its because of the value

#6

Which line is the error?

your Error says

Players.cadengamer11111.PlayerGui.Inventory.Inventory.GuiScript:28: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got nil)

but where exactly is this line 28? which line does it point out?

#7

thank you! Itried this and it worked! just a syntax error i uess.
