Workspace.Tycoon.Tycoon.Script.Core:7: attempt to index nil with 'OwnerValue' - Server - Core:7

[coral plank]

local tycoon = script.Parent.Parent

local mainItems = tycoon:FindFirstChild("MainItems")
local values = tycoon:FindFirstChild("Values")

mainItems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if values.OwnerValue.Value == nil then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
if player:FindFirstChild("HasTycoon").Value == false then
values.OwnerValue.Value = player
mainItems.OwnerDoor.Title.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = tostring(values.OwnerValue.Value).."'s Tycoon"
end
end
end
end)

here's the script

[runic inlet]

it means what it means

values is nil

[sharp sigil]

SIUUU

add a wait for child

also use guard clauses

local OwnerValue = values:WaitForChild("OwnerValue")

mainItems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if (OwnerValue.Value ~= nil) then return end

    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if (player == nil) then return end

    local hasTycoon = player:FindFirstChild("HasTycoon")
    if (hasTycoon == nil or hasTycoon.Value == true) then return end

    OwnerValue.Value = player
    mainItems.OwnerDoor.Title.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = tostring(OwnerValue.Value).."'s Tycoon"
end)

trueee

[sharp sigil]

look

how good

it looks now

:D

[magic owl]

what the hell is a guard clause

[sharp sigil]

see the difference

between ur code

and mine

or THE OP

code

idk whos code was that

its like negating the if conditions

and returning early

[magic owl]

their code looks more curvy fr

[unreal jolt]

guard clauses are way better than nested code

[sharp sigil]

it helps in making the code less nested

[magic owl]

ah

[sharp sigil]

I would choose reading the second one over the first one

[magic owl]

probably cuz it has colours

[sharp sigil]

no because

its more

readable

second one

[unreal jolt]

intead of doing

if blabla
  if blagalg
    if hahaha
      --code
    end
  end
end
-- you do
if not blabla then return end
if not blagalg then return end
if not hahaha then return end
-- code

[magic owl]

yeah

[magic owl]

ew

[sharp sigil]

also there is guard clauses

for tables

or loops in generale

by changing the return statement with continue

[unreal jolt]

i know mate

::continue::

::skip::

😉

[sharp sigil]

no

dont doesnt apply to LuaU

LuaU have own continue

[unreal jolt]

ahh yes

lua have just 'continue' keyword

[outer turtle]

** You are now Level 4! **

[sharp sigil]

yes

[unreal jolt]

you do that in LuaJIT

ur right

[magic owl]

@unreal jolt you might've just unintentionally saved my code

[unreal jolt]

lessgo

[sharp sigil]

how

lol

[magic owl]

with the return end

idk if it works with my script but

[sharp sigil]

guard clauses

?

[magic owl]

i need it to basically

look at my report for more info
