i want it to show the value of the attribute as the text
but it keeps saying attempt to index nil with ‘Value’
pad.PrimaryPart.BillboardGui.ObjectName.Text = pad:GetAttribute("ObjectName").Value
this attribute is inside every pad

Remove .Value
pad:GetAttribute("ObjectName")
should return “Wall 2” by itself, .Value is a non-existent property of it.
I should add it may be possible you’re reading the attribute before it has been set, make sure to double check.
thank you i didnt know that. Are string values the only one that dont require .Value
I think you may have confused properties and instances.
If you were storing ObjectName as a StringValue Instance, you’d have to get the instance, and then read the .Value property of that Instance, like: game.Workspace.ObjectName.Value
Remember that ObjectName in this example is an Instance (which is similar to “object” data types in other programming languages)
Instances have things called Properties, which describe them. Which would be “.Value” in this example.
GetAttribute/SetAttribute is simply a way of assigning custom properties using Roblox’s instance structure. Althought they cannot be read using .ObjectName
and must be read using :GetAttribute("ObjectName")
which would act just like .Value in this case.
