Unable to cast string to int64 error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So im making a custom hotbar script for my fighting game and im getting a strange error when getting to update the hotbar icons

The error itself is: “Unable to cast string to int64”

Heres my code
The error is on line 3

local function updatehotbar()
	for i,v in pairs(hotbarSlots:GetChildren()) do
		hotbar[v].SlotIcon.Image = "rbxassetid://" .. v.Icon.Value -- String value with the image id
		hotbar[v].CurrentSlot = v.Value
	end
end

for i,v in pairs(hotbarSlots:GetChildren()) do
	v.Changed:Connect(updatehotbar)
	v.Icon.Changed:Connect(updatehotbar)
end

Can someone help me fix this?

Could you paste your entire code?

Here it is, its not a lot

--// Inventory

local keybinds = {
	['1'] = "One",
	['2'] = "Two",
	['3'] = "Three",
	['4'] = "Four",
	['5'] = "Five",
}

local hotbarSlots = plr.Data:WaitForChild("Hotbar")
local hotbar = plr.PlayerGui["HUD"].GearHotbar:WaitForChild("HotbarFrame")

local function updatehotbar()
	for i,v in pairs(hotbarSlots:GetChildren()) do
		hotbar[v].SlotIcon.Image = "rbxassetid://" .. v.Icon.Value
		hotbar[v].CurrentSlot = v.Value
	end
end

for i,v in pairs(hotbarSlots:GetChildren()) do
	v.Changed:Connect(updatehotbar)
	v.Icon.Changed:Connect(updatehotbar)
end

is v.Icon.Value the actual value or is it the instance that holds the value?
Also try using tostring() on the value

#5

Icon is a string value, i already tried using tostring() but it still didnt work

#6

well here’s a discrepancy

What is v really?

#7

v is like, the variable on for i,v in pairs that i did, hotbarSlots is a folder that has the values of each hotbar slots, like, there are 5 values in it named from 1 to 5 which are the same names as the hotbar slots in the UI, idk if u could understand but i can try to explain it better

#8

can you show a screenshot of one of the “v” so we can see what children it has (in the explorer)

#9

Alright, here it is, all the values inside the instances should be the same pretty much

The hotbar values, on number 1 it should be primary but it says heal, ima fix it later

And here is the ui part

try replacing both hotbar[v]

with hotbar[tostring(i)] since V is the actual instance and I is the index. Alternativ add .Name
so replace them with:

hotbar[v.Name]
--or do this
hotbar[tostring(i)]

Alright, its pretty late in my country so i will test it tomorrow and see if it works
