Tool of game giving me a weird error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a JJBA type of game(jojos bizzare adventure)
and i have made a arrow which isnt working, it used to work, but there it was a item laying on the ground, now its a tool, and the local script gives me an error at line 25,26,27 and the code is stopping at that line

 local Stands = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild("Stands")
		local Stand = Stands:FindFirstChild("Stand1")
		local Stand2 = Stands:FindFirstChild("Stand2")
		local Stand3 = Stands:FindFirstChild("Stand3")

and its giving me an error like this when i click:

Players.LegendaryLenni.Backpack.Arrow.StandGiver:25: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild'

could anyone help?
(“Stands” is a folder)

try “WaitForChild” instead of “FindFirstChild” If it still gives a simular error maybe try and check if the stands are in ServerStorage.

You cannot Access Server Storage through a local script.

Anyways, to fix this just move the stands folder to Replicated Storage and use WaitForChild Instead of FindFIrstChild. Hope this helps

local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Stands = Storage:WaitForChild("Stands")
local Stand = Stands:WaitForChild("Stand1")
local Stand2 = Stands:WaitForChild("Stand2")
local Stand3 = Stands:WaitForChild("Stand3")

WaitFirstChild is not a valid member of ReplicatedStorage "ReplicatedStorage"

yes please :smiley: , i feel like a total noob

#19 
for i,v in pairs(Stands:GetChildren()) do
     -- // v will get everything in that stands folder
    -- // if you want to check a name in the folder you do
    if v.Name == "Stand1" then
    -- // Whatever code here
   end
   -- // if you want to touch a part in a pairs you can do
   v.TouchPart.Touched:Connect(function()
      -- // after touched whatever you put here will be whatever u want
  end)
end

There is soo many more stuff you can do with pairs which will save lots of time while programming.
