Hi, i have a very big problem so i can’t continue making my game
Basically the value that i set to table is nil ;/
There’s nothing that i could say so there are screenshots:
Set the value, fire the function
Function
Output
Help pls, i have no idea what i did wrong
you can’t insert a nil value into an array
Yes you can. Try this in studio: print(({nil, nil, 5})[3])
i’ve even changed it to workspace.Baseplate and still nothing
Can you show the full error message? You might be calling the function somewhere else without realizing it. You can also ctrl+f for any other calls if you prefer.
my bad, was basing that off of the api page
Since you are setting smallest to false when you ‘return false’, the following calls on getSmallestBlock() will send ‘false’ instead of an array. It’ll then error as you can’t index [2] of false.
Is line 55 the first or second call to getSmallestBlock? I think what’s happening is that it’s being put inside the alreadyCheckedTable the first time you call the function and the second time it won’t return anything since alreadyChecked would be true.
first call is in line 55

The only way it could return nil is if alreadyChecked is true, so that’s probably the issue. Out of curiosity, why does it matter if it’s already been checked?
Deleting ‘return false’ won’t fix it either, if nothing is returned then smallest will merely be set to nil.
I.e. This will print nil.
local test = true
local function run(val)
end
test = run(test)
print(test)
because if 1 block gets checked then it can’t get checked next time
the alreadyChecked returns false, i checked it using print
Where do you check it? I don’t see any other way this could be returning nil, so I’m out of ideas. Try printing after the second end if that’s not where you already tried.
A potential fix could be this:
-- instead of this:
if true then
smallest = whatever
end
-- do this:
smallest = getSmallestBlock(block, smallest) or smallestI checked it before

okay thanks it works
