I was searching about this error with a function but I couldn't find any so I'm trying if here I can get any help about this error because I have been working very hard on this to make my GUI easier to build but well it's now struggling me to find any solutions.
The error is not in the provided code.
It must be something where you do.
someVariable["CreateWindow"], someVariable.CreateWindow or someVariable:CreateWindow() where someVariable is a nil value. Indexing nil values is not allowed.
You failed to refer that variable to your FrameLib table. Maybe just a typo? Lua errors typically come with a stack trace that provides you with information about which line of which file cause the error together with the sequence of function calls that lead to that error.
If you don't know the three possible indexing operations in Lua and hence what to look for in this case you probably should revisit the basics of Lua befor doing any further Roblox development.

I got a problem while testing a billboard GUI that shows how many studs of length there are for the part but it doesn't show the studs it just stays zero I tried testing with a loop but didn't work then tried with RunService but still didn't work so I got really confused because it doesn't show any error in the output so please help
The code:
function setBill(text, parent)
local Loop = {}
local BillboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
local Frame = Instance.new("Frame")
local TextLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")

TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
TextLabel.TextScaled = false
TextLabel.TextSize = 24.000
TextLabel.TextWrapped = true
local function BillLoop()
while wait() do
local pos = math.floor((BillboardGui.Parent.Position - BillboardGui.Parent.Position).magnitude)
TextLabel.Text = text.." Studs : "..tostring(pos)
end
end
Loop = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(BillLoop)
end
setBill("Shop", game.Workspace["test part"])
local pos = math.floor((BillboardGui.Parent.Position
- BillboardGui.Parent.Position).magnitude)
TextLabel.Text = text.." Studs : "..tostring(pos)
This is where you calculate and set the text for your TextLabel.
BillboardGui.Parent.Position is a Vector3.
BillboardGui.Parent.Position - BillboardGui.Parent.Position is (0,0,0)
The magnitude aka length of a zero vector is 0.
This is probably not what you intended to calculate.
Im trying to get this lua code to run but cannot seem to get it to work. Whenever i run it i get this error that i cant seem to avoid no matter how many times i edit it.
Can anybody find a solution for this? I have been searching all over the web to no avail.
This is the error i get

With time you'll learn how to find such errors quickly. If you have no idea where to start, there are several ways to approach this.
read the code and in your mind check what is missing ( pro level )
delete everything from your code that is syntactically correct
in your example you'll end up with BlackHoleGun.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() which is an incomplete function call with an imcomplete function definition. So you know that you have to put an end at the end of that function's body and that you need to a ) to close that function call.
count things that come in pairs (most editors can do that).
in your example you have 36{, 36}, 54[, 54], 105(, 104) whoops! -> 1 ) short!
you have 8 ends for 0 do + 0 then + 9 function -> 1 end short!
now check where those things are missing and add them.
A very good way to avoid such errors is to have your text editor/ide autocomplete pairs.
You're missing the end of the function BlackHoleGun.MouseButton1Down:connect you are declaring in line 53. There is no closing bracket.
I think you are missing

in your t.lua file on line 13 you point to SWEP value, which is a null value.
Did you call: SWEP:initialize()?

check if your value is "local" or if your SWEP value has been initialized.
also check if you remove it before like this: SWEP = nil or not.
I'm trying to render the match results (string.find) in to a Row, with kinda works... but its only displaying the last match. so if I match 'jan' and 'kevin' it will; only list 'kevin'

Your tableView being declared within the outer loop meant that the first instance of it would be transitioned over by the second instance. And a quick look over the docs indicates that each event.row allows an optional params table to include any data you may need to render the row.
local MasterData = xml:loadFile( "sample.xml")
local XMLdataTEST = {}
for i=1,#MasterData.child do
XMLdataTEST[i] = MasterData.child[i]
end

So I am making a game which has a lot of values to save. I used a module by Rob Miracle with makes it easy to save and load tables to do this with two tables. One is named "gamestuff" and the other is named "leveltries".
In one scene I declare the values of these tables (only if they haven't been saved before)
gamestuff.level = 1
gamestuff.sound = true
gamestuff.name = "user"
gamestuff.highscore = 0
gamestuff.lastscore = 0
gamestuff.volume = 0.5
gamestuff.lastlevel = 1
gamestuff.won = false
gamestuff.bouncesleft = 0
local leveltries = {
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
{tries =0, wins = 0, fails = 0, retries = 0, bouncesleft = 0, bestbounces = 0, score = 0},
}
loadsave.saveTable(leveltries, "leveltries.json")
loadsave.saveTable(gamestuff, "gamestuff.json")
This works fine except for when I try to go to a restart level scene and a win scene after the first level.
But it confuses me because in level one I try
print("Fails: "..leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel].fails)
and it works
But when I try it in the restarter scene, it doesn't:
local storyboard = require( "storyboard" )
local scene = storyboard.newScene()
local loadsave = require("loadsave")
local gamestuff = {}
local leveltries = {}
local options =
{
effect = "fade",
time = 400
}
local function loader()
gamestuff = loadsave.loadTable("gamestuff.json")
leveltries = loadsave.loadTable("leveltries.json")
print("loaded")
end
local function save()
loadsave.saveTable(gamestuff, "gamestuff.json")
loadsave.saveTable(leveltries, "leveltries.json")
end
function scene:createScene(event)
gamestuff = {}
leveltries = {}
end
function scene:enterScene(event)
loader()
print("Fails"..leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel].fails) --says the error is here
local a = leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel].fails + 1
leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel].fails = a
timer.performWithDelay( 50, function()
save()
storyboard.gotoScene("level"..tostring(gamestuff.lastlevel), options)
end, 1 )
end
function scene:exitScene(event)
local group = self.view
storyboard.removeScene("restarter")
end
function scene:destroyScene(event)
gamestuff = nil
leveltries = nil
options = nil
end
scene:addEventListener( "createScene", scene )
scene:addEventListener( "enterScene", scene )
scene:addEventListener( "exitScene", scene )
scene:addEventListener( "destroyScene", scene )
return scene
Can anyone tell my why the code above doesn't work?
Could it be that I don't properly remove the "gamestuff" and "leveltries" in level1?
I tried to put some prints in. In the level 1 scene:
Everything works:
print(gamestuff.lastlevel)
print(leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel].fails)
print(leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel])
However in the restarter scene, only:
print(gamestuff.lastlevel) --which prints 1 and is right
works
print(leveltries[gamestuff.lastlevel]), in the restarter scene prints nil
I don't know how this is possible. I load the same tables in the same way at the same time in both scenes and used them in the same way.
Could it be that I am removing the tables incorrectly?
In scene one these are my exitScene and removeScene:
function scene:exitScene(event)
Runtime:removeEventListener("touch", shoot)
menub:removeEventListener("touch", gotomenu)
restartb:removeEventListener("touch", restart)
goal:removeEventListener("collision", win)
ball:removeEventListener("collision", hit)
ball:removeEventListener("collision", grow)
Runtime:removeEventListener("enterFrame", twinkle)
Runtime:removeEventListener("enterFrame", redraw)
end
function scene:didExitScene(event)
--storyboard.removeScene("level1")
end
function scene:destroyScene(event)
bg:removeSelf()
ball:removeSelf()
goal:removeSelf()
topwall:removeSelf()
bottomwall:removeSelf()
rightwall:removeSelf()
leftwall:removeSelf()
menub:removeSelf()
bounces = nil
bouncestext:removeSelf()
taps = nil
restartb:removeSelf()
tuttext:removeSelf()
gamestuff = nil
bg = nil
ball = nil
goal = nil
topwall = nil
bottomwall = nil
rightwall = nil
leftwall = nil
menub = nil
bouncestext = nil
restartb = nil
tuttext = nil
options = nil
trailprops = nil
for i = 1, 3 do
wallColor[i] = nil
end
end
scene:addEventListener("createScene", scene)
scene:addEventListener("enterScene", scene)
scene:addEventListener("exitScene", scene)
scene:addEventListener("didExitScene", scene)
scene:addEventListener("destroyScene", scene)
I think the issue is , you are declaring the gamestuff and leveltries array at the beginning of the scene. Then y do u again declare it in the create scene. You are again overriding the same array. I think it doesnt make any sense. Remove the array which is declared in the create scene and try .
