it doesn’t matter, no one uses array for saving in a table for locating

#24

But defining variables does matter? Especially when they error your code…

#25

it errors I’m almost positive because its a string and not an instance,

#26

The attribute is of a string type, correct?

#27 
for i,menu in pairs(menus:GetChildren()) do
	local menu = tostring(menu.Name)
	menuList[menu] = menu
	print(menuList)
end

as you see now, the name is there for the menu instance object, now using it you can locate

#35

Change tableloc to this and try.

local tableloc = menuList[direction]
#36 
local function directButton(direction)
	print("connected")
	print(direction)
	local tableloc = menuList[direction]
	print(tableloc)
	print(menuList[direction])
	print(tableloc)
	menuList[direction].Visible = true
end
