Hi. I’m currently trying to script an AA12. The problem however is that configuration somewhat shows up as nil in the output therefore the rest of the script won’t run.

The Local Script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local sounds = tool:FindFirstChild("Sounds")
local events = tool:FindFirstChild("Events")
local animations = tool:FindFirstChild("Animations")
local configuration = tool:FindFirstChild("Configuration")

local reloadTime = configuration.Reload
local fireRate = configuration.FireRate
local ammo = configuration.Ammo
local magazine = configuration.Magazine
local bulletValue = configuration.Bullet
local shells = configuration.Shell

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local bulletValue = tool.Configuration.Bullet

local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local shooting = events.Shoot
local reload = events.Reload

local handle = script.Parent.Parent.Handle
local mag = script.Parent.Parent.AA12.Magazine

local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local equipAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(animations.Equipped)
local shootingAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(animations.Shooting)
local reloadAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(animations.Reload)

local equipped = false
local firing = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	equipAnim:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
	equipAnim:Stop()
	shootingAnim:Stop()
	reloadAnim:Stop()
end)

inputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if equipped then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
			if bulletValue.Value < 140 then
				firing = false
				reload:FireServer()
				reloadAnim:Play()
			end
		end
	end
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if equipped and not firing then
		firing = true
		
		if bulletValue.Value > 0 then
			while firing == true do
				
				mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
					firing = false
				end)
		
				mouse.TargetFilter = workspace.BulletStorage
				
				shooting:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
				shootingAnim:Play()
				
				task.wait(fireRate.Value)
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

I also have a M4A1 with nearly the exact same script as well. For the M4A1, it works perfectly fine.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local sounds = tool:FindFirstChild("Sounds")
local events = tool:FindFirstChild("Events")
local animations = tool:FindFirstChild("Animations")
local configuration = tool:FindFirstChild("Configuration")

local reloadTime = configuration.Reload
local fireRate = configuration.FireRate
local ammo = configuration.Ammo
local magazine = configuration.Magazine
local bulletValue = configuration.Bullet

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local bulletValue = tool.Configuration.Bullet

local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local shooting = events.Shoot
local reload = events.Reload

local handle = script.Parent.Parent.Handle
local mag = script.Parent.Parent.M4A1.Mag

local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local equipAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(animations.Equipped)
local shootingAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(animations.Shooting)
local reloadAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(animations.Reload)

local equipped = false
local firing = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	equipAnim:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
	equipAnim:Stop()
	shootingAnim:Stop()
	reloadAnim:Stop()
end)

inputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if equipped then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
			if bulletValue.Value < 30 then
				firing = false
				reload:FireServer()
				reloadAnim:Play()
			end
		end
	end
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if equipped and not firing then
		firing = true
		
		if bulletValue.Value > 0 then
			while firing == true do
				
				mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
					firing = false
				end)
		
				mouse.TargetFilter = workspace.BulletStorage
				
				shooting:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
				shootingAnim:Play()
				
				task.wait(fireRate.Value)
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

Is there anyway to fix this issue?

#2

It would help to know where the error occurs

#3

Try changing to WaitForChild? Or maybe it’s called something else.
