Trying to save and load elements

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’m making yet another Naruto game and I want it to be similar to Shindo Life. Im trying to save and load chakra natures but I can’t figure it out. Im trying to have a value in the character. It can read and load the ui perfectly fine, but when I try to change the value it says “attempt to index nil with ‘Value’”

-Thanks

That’s because you’re trying to access something that doesn’t exist.
Is the value made in a LocalScript and referenced from a ServerScript?
I need the code to see what your problem is.

Sorry if the code is messy

Local Script

local ChakraList = {
	"Fire",
	"Wind",
	"Lighting",
	"Earth",
	"Water"
}

local ChakraImageList = {
	"rbxassetid://10159036956",
	"rbxassetid://10159056103",
	"rbxassetid://10159057422",
	"rbxassetid://10159054958",
	"rbxassetid://10159052292"
}

local canSpin = true

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

local elem1 = char:WaitForChild("Element1").Value
local elem2 = char:WaitForChild("Element2").Value

if char and elem1 ~= 0 then
	script.Parent.Text = tostring(ChakraList[char.Element1.Value])
	script.Parent.Parent.Image = ChakraImageList[char.Element1.Value]
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if canSpin == true then
		canSpin = false
		local randomNum = math.random(1, #ChakraList)
		local chakraType = ChakraList[randomNum]
		local image = ChakraImageList[randomNum]
		script.Parent.Text = tostring(chakraType)
		script.Parent.Parent.Image = image
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.UpdateChar:FireServer(char, 1, randomNum)
		wait(1)
		script.Parent.Text = "[SPIN]"
		canSpin = true
	end
end)

Script

script.Parent.UpdateChar.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(char, elem, num)
	if elem == 1 then
		char:FindFirstChild("Element1").Value = num
	else
		char:FindFirstChild("Element2").Value = num
	end
end)

Nevermind! I was trying to find the Element Value from the player and not the Character! Ha!
