Unable to cast value to object

I got an unable to cast value to object error in my code and I cannot seem to figure out what the issue is.

The error pointed to line 23 which is if Target:IsDescendantOf(Vehicle) then

Target is of course the PlayerMouse’s Target

function GetModel(Target)
	local Model
	for _, Vehicle in pairs, workspace.Vehicles:GetChildren() do
		if Target:IsDescendantOf(Vehicle) then
			Model = Vehicle
		end
	end
	if not Model then
		Model = Target.Parent
	end
	return Model
end

and the line where this function fired was local Debris = GetModel(Target) or Target

function MouseMove(Mouse)
	if IsAdministrator() and Enabled then
		local Target = Mouse.Target
		if Target then
			if IsDebris(Target) then
				local Debris = GetModel(Target) or Target
				Selection.Parent = workspace.Terrain
				Selection.Adornee = Debris
			else
				Selection.Adornee = nil
			end
		else
			Selection.Adornee = nil
		end
	end
end

Could you change that line to if Target and Target.Parent and Vehicle and Target:IsDescendantOf(Vehicle) then

#3

i already check to see if target is not nil, i also know that vehicle exists too because its inside workspace as well as target’s parent

#4

do print(Target, Target.Parent)
say if it says either is nil

#5

The function only fires if both already exist, please look at the code first.

#6

i am aware of what you said, but if you are getting that error, you have to check if it exists.

#7

I know it exists because not only have I already checked, but the function where the error occurs inside of can only fire if they exist.

#8

ok, well you can figure it out then.
if i was going to fix it myself, i would check using print()

This is your problem. Vehicle is the same as workspace.Vehicles:GetChildren(), and that’s a table, not an Instance. You need to call pairs as a function rather than just pass it as an argument.
