Unable to assign property Text. string expected, got Instance

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do I want to achieve? To have my system work

  2. What is the issue? Even though it is a string value, my game says it is an instance

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Tried to say [Instance].Name still doesn’t work

So basically im making an egg system but the thing is it doesn’t work because of this error.

Please help me ASAP. Thanks in advance!

This should be Rarity.Value, StringValues don’t have a Text property

#3

Hello, it is actually a textlabel. That part works fine. Only at line 189 it erros.

#4

  1. It would help if you could separately reply with the line(s) that aren’t working because it’s really hard to find the line that is erroring in all of your code.

  2. You can try wrapping the text inside a tostring() function.

#5

Hello!

I used tostring function it does one part of the code correctly but an error pops up:

Players.itzmerose_12.PlayerGui.EggSystem.Clientscripts.Hatch_Client:184: attempt to index nil with 'Name'

where it occurs:

local function triplehatch(petName,petName2,petName3,egg)
	togglegui(false)
	
	local pet = pets[egg.Name]:FindFirstChild(petName):Clone()
	local pet2 = pets[egg.Name]:FindFirstChild(petName2):Clone()
	local pet3 = pets[egg.Name]:FindFirstChild(petName3):Clone()
	
	--where error occurs
	script.Parent.Parent.PetDusp.petnaem.Text = tostring(petName)
	script.Parent.Parent.PetDusp2.petnaem.Text = tostring(petName2)
	script.Parent.Parent.PetDusp3.petnaem.Text = tostring(petName3)
#6

It might be referring to egg.Name, and saying that egg does not exist. Make sure whatever “egg” is supposed to be exists, and has a Name property.

#7

it is parameter in the function. So how can i assure it has a name?

#8

And also it works when i open only i egg, but when i open three eggs, this error doesn’t appear.

#9

I seem to be having the same issue, but when I try to assign the text button’s text to another text label’s text it seems to put the text’s text as “Instance” when I wrap it in tostring()

#10

try using .Name when u’re using tostring

#11

I think I’ve fixed it. Thank you though!
