attempt to compare nil < number? - lua

Im trying to change to get the zamount's value in the client side but it returns it as nil, can anyone help??
script:
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.Team == game.Teams.Mastermind then
local zombiespawn = script.Parent.Parent
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("Onzombiespawnclick"):FireAllClients(plr,script.Parent.Parent.CFrame ,zombiespawn)
end
end)
Local script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("Onzombiespawnclick").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(spawncframe, zombiespawn)
script.Parent.Visible = true
zombiespawnreference = spawncframe
zombieamountreference = zombiespawn:FindFirstChild("Zombieamount").Value
end)
if zombieamountreference < game.ReplicatedStorage.Vals:WaitForChild("Zombieamountlimit").Value then
if not debounce then
debounce = true
script.Parent:WaitForChild("Placeevent"):FireServer(zombiename, zombiespawnreference, power, zombieamountreference)
wait(0.3)
debounce = false
end
end

Nevermind, i had to put a player object on the client event parameter thing. Its fixed now

Why does this Int Value keep coming back after it is set? [Roblox Studio]

I'm sorry if this is a really simple or easy question, but I am trying to set the player leaderstat "Money" to 0, but it keeps coming back as the old value. The only thing that I can think of that may be causing this problem is that the moneyGain script is on repeat.
Here is my moneyGain script:
local playerMoney
while wait(0.24) do
local buttons = script.Parent.Parent.info.savedItems.Value.buttons:GetChildren()
for button = 1, #buttons, 1 do
if buttons[button].Parent.Parent.tycoon.Value ~= nil then
if buttons[button].Parent.Parent.tycoon.Value.info.owner ~= nil then
if buttons[button].jobDone.Value == true then
script.Parent.moneyEnforcer.enforce:Invoke(buttons[button].gainVal.Value)
end
end
end
end
--OWNERDOOR:
if script.Parent.Parent.info.owner.Value ~= nil then
script.Parent.moneyEnforcer.enforce:Invoke(1)
end
end
Here is my moneyEnforcer script:
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local dictionary = require(rs.dictionary)
local vipPlayers = dictionary.vipPlayers
script.enforce.OnInvoke = function(amount)
print(amount)
if script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value ~= nil then
if game:GetService("GamePassService"):PlayerHasPass(script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value, 25494219) then
amount = amount * 2
else
for i = 1, #vipPlayers, 1 do
if script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.Name == vipPlayers[i] then
amount = amount * 2
end
end
end
local playerMoney = script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money
script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value = script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value + amount
end
end
And here is the tycoon reseter:
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = 0
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
local savedItems = player.claimedTycoon.Value.info.savedItems.Value
local builds = player.claimedTycoon.Value.activeBuilds:GetChildren()
local buttons = player.claimedTycoon.Value.activeButtons:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #builds, 1 do
builds[i].Parent = savedItems.builds
end
for j = 1, #buttons, 1 do
buttons[j].Parent = savedItems.buttons
end
savedItems.builds.dirtStarterBase.Parent = player.claimedTycoon.Value
player.claimedTycoon.Value.info:WaitForChild("activeWave").Value = 1
end)
I have tried putting the "script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value = script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value + amount" on the moneyGain script, but that made no difference.
Any help is appriciated!
I believe your problem is that you're setting the value of money from the client. When you change the value from a local script, it will not update on the server. To fix this update the value from the server
In tycoon reseter, try resetting the value from the server using a RemoteEvent

The error message tells you everything you need to know.
ServerScriptService.TheWorldServer.TS:35: attempt to index nil with

This is line 35:
if That.Anchored == false
and That.Parent.Name ~= player.Name
and That.Parent.Parent.Name ~= player.Name
and That.Name ~= "Baseplate"
and not That.Parent:IsA("Accessory") then
You index multiple variables with Name as in .Name (indexing operator .).
One of these values is nil.
That cannot be nil as this would cause errors earlier.
print player, That.Parent, and That.Parent.Parent to find out which of them is nil. Then find out why and fix that. We cannot help you here. If it is a valid state simply avoid indexing or replace it by some default value.

Atempted to index nil error when trying to find the playergui component of a player

I'm trying to make a cutscene sorta thing for a dorr in roblox studio. My solution was to set up a collision detector on the door which would then make a gui template and set its parent to the playergui component.
I did this using the code
local afterIntoTransform = script.Parent.Parent.DoorUnion.Position.Z -6
local afterOutwardsTransform = script.Parent.Parent.DoorUnion.Position.Z + 6
local debounce = false
local function executeFadeSceneAndTpPlayer(player)
local fadeScene = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
local fadeSceneFrame = Instance.new("Frame")
fadeScene.Name = "fadeScene"
fadeSceneFrame.Name = "fadeFrame"
fadeSceneFrame.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
fadeSceneFrame.Parent = fadeScene
fadeSceneFrame.BorderSizePixel = 0
fadeSceneFrame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
fadeSceneFrame.BackgroundTransparency = 1
print(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player).Name)
fadeScene.Parent = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player).PlayerGui
for i = 0, 20, 1 do
fadeSceneFrame.BackgroundTransparency -= 0.05
wait(0.01)
end
player.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(player.HumanoidRootPart.Position.X, player.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y, afterOutwardsTransform)
for i = 0, 20, 1 do
fadeSceneFrame.BackgroundTransparency += 0.05
wait(0.01)
end
fadeScene:Destroy()
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not debounce then
debounce = true
executeFadeSceneAndTpPlayer(hit.Parent)
wait(0.2)
debounce = false
end
end)
It tells me: Attempted to index nil with name on line 15.
It works sometimes and sometimes doesnt but recently Ive noticed a trend that I can walk into the door then out again and then it breaks. I haven't coded in a while so I'm a little rusty but I hope I can get some help.
You are running into the same issue as this person : Roblox - attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats'
You are not accounting for the fact that the Touched event fires for every single part that touches it, and some of those parts might not belong to a player.
You can protect against this error by making sure that the object belongs to a player before you call executeFadeSceneAndTpPlayer()
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if not plr then
return
end
if not debounce then
debounce = true
executeFadeSceneAndTpPlayer(hit.Parent)
wait(0.2)
debounce = false
end
end)

<name> error while trying to do two or more loops

Last time I wanted to update my LUA code to be more automatic. Earlier had to turn on and off everything manual, by deleting phrases. But I met small problem name expected near '2' error and I'm not sure what's wrong is with it. I was looking in other thread about similar error, but they didn't help me.
local BOSS = GetModConfigData("BOSS") --return true or false
local KOAL = GetModConfigData("KOAL") --return true or false
local SCULP = GetModConfigData("SCULP") --return true or false
local BossList = {"BOSS", "KOAL", "SCULP"}
local BossCode = {"bosscode", "koal_old", "koal_new", "sculp_small", "sculp_med", "sculp_big"}
k = 1
for i,v in ipairs(BossList) do
if BossList[i] == true then
if BossList[i] == "KOAL" then
for i,2 do
Bosses[k] = BossCode[k]
k = k+1
end
elseif BossList[i] == "SCULP" then
for i,3 do
Bosses[k] = BossCode[k]
k = k+1
end
else
Bosses[k] = BossCode[k]
k = k+1
end
end
end
When I'm trying to use second loop, problem comes to me. When I pushed this code without second and third loop, it was working. But without save additional BossCodes.
for i,v in ipairs(BossList) do
if BossList[i] == true then
Bosses[k] = BossCode[k]
k = k+1
end
end

Cloning+Dragging model when button is click ROBLOX [LUA]?

So I thought of having this for so long, I just don't know where to start. I am new to this language and I keep learning, but kind of hard for me. But I have built my very own custom character which took 2 weeks for me. Anyway, For my question. An example is if I have a button and I click it, a model will be clone and I can drag that model and put it anywhere nearby. What possible method I can use to achieve this?
First things first, I suggest for any future questions, you head over to https://scriptinghelpers.org/
now, on to your question, for cloning the model, you should use mouse.Target.Parent:Clone() or the GetTopParent(mouse.Target) function in my function library (which you can get here; http://www.roblox.com/item.aspx?id=244244638)
then deposit the model into workspace and MakeJoints()
the next step is to move the model, this can be tricky, but the simplest method is model:MoveTo(mouse.Hit.p) on mouse.Moved (but that's a little buggy)
Another method for movement would be to use the Handles class, but I'm not really familiar with it, so you'd have to figure that one out on your own.
To make the first method less buggy, I'd suggest something along the lines of
model:MoveTo(mouse.Hit.p.X, mouse.Target.Position.Y + (model:GetExtentsSize().Y / 2), mouse.Hit.p.Z)
but you'd have to set up the mouse to ignore the model, which I can't really help with.
A really good place to start is to search the free models in Studio Toolbox for a 'Dragger Tool' or 'Model Dragger Tool' and then use the script inside to get started creating your own. I have learned to create my own custom draggers by doing this and it is way easier than you may think at first. Once you find a good dragger tool to borrow code from, if you need to enhance it, you can find the dragger api in the Roblox Wiki to help you further customize it to your specific needs.
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Dragger
EDIT: So here's the first dragger script that showed when I searched. It will drag models and parts but you will have to edit it to meet your requirements using the dragger api. Create a Tool in player.BackPack then create a LocalScript inside the Tool then copy and paste the code below into the LocalScript, and that will get you started.
