I’m working on my Plot Saving Script but when I do for I, obj in pairs(plot.PlacedObjects:GetChildren()) it says PlacedObjects is a nil value but all the plots do have a folder called Placed Objects. Here’s a part of my script for context:
THIS IS NOT THE WHOLE ENTIRE SCRIPT! ONLY THE ERROR PART
local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local PlotSave = DS:GetDataStore("PlotSave")
local plot
local function GetPlot(plr)
for i, plt in pairs(workspace.Plots:GetChildren()) do
if plt then
if plt.Plot.Owner.Value == plr then
plot = workspace.Plots:FindFirstChild(plt.Name)
end
end
end
end
local function Save(plr)
local Key = "plr-"..plr.UserId
local save = {}
wait()
for i, obj in pairs(plot.PlacedObjects:GetChildren()) do
if obj then
table.insert(save, {
["Name"] = obj.Name,
["CFS"] = {
["X"] = obj.PrimaryPart.CFrame.X,
["Y"] = obj.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Y,
["Z"] = obj.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Z,
["R"] = obj.PrimaryPart.Orientation.Y
}
})
end
end
‘Attempt to index nil’ is an error that occurs when you try and refer to a non-existing value.
Consider debbugging your code to find when the error is occuring, so you can alter and fix it.
In that case, there may not be any errors in the code you provided. Do some thorough testing before making a post on the DevForums
For now there’s not much I can really help with, but;
• Make sure the folder you are referring to is accessible from the script. This means make sure it doesn’t exist on the client, and is being called for by the server.
• Run the game and play around in the server-mode.
• Reference the folder using WaitForChild instead of directly referencing it. It might be as simple as not existing yet.
I would recommend using :WaitForChild() to load anything that is pre-placed or may not necessarily exist when the script runs. This will yield the script until either the instance does exist, or until a specified time has passed which can be provided with the function.
