local function CreateRoom(map, gamemode, timeofday)
    local template = script:FindFirstChild("ServerTemplate")
    if not template then
        warn("ServerTemplate not found")
        return

    local clone = template:Clone()
    clone.Name = map.."_"..gamemode

    if clone:FindFirstChild("Map") then
        clone.Map.Text = map
    end
    if clone:FindFirstChild("Gamemode") then
        clone.Gamemode.Text = gamemode
    end
    if clone:FindFirstChild("TimeOfDay") then
        clone.TimeOfDay.Text = timeofday
    end

    clone.Parent = ServerListScroll
end```

trying to make a template be cloned but it just doesnt want to. (yes it kind of looks like AI i think)

#

and yes everything is defined

#

but problem right now is that it just doesnt want to clone <:(

#

doesn't want to clone... as in clone.Name = map.."_"..gamemode returns an error due to clone being nil?

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

no cos the function returns

gritty grail Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

returns early?

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

its either throwing an error or its returning

#

if not template then
warn("ServerTemplate not found")
return
end

#

^^^^^^^

gritty grail Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

there's a huge difference between erroring and returning

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

so if hes getting the warning

#

its returning

#

and not cloning

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

gritty grail doesn't want to clone... as in `clone.Name = map.."_"..gamemode` returns an erro...

no

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

u are dumb

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

it doesnt even output anything in console

#

literally

gritty grail Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

he never said it warned him

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

what is template defined as, I'm assuming its a frame of sorts

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

yes

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

ripe tendon what is template defined as, I'm assuming its a frame of sorts

its a frame

#

and inside is stored a button and textlabels

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

you got a UIListLayout in there?

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

no

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

in the scrolling frame

#

so how is it structuring the list

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

theres no scrolling frame

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

ServerListScroll

#

^

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

ripe tendon so how is it structuring the list

the good old move

#

lemme show u

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

i assumed it was a scrolling frame

gritty grail Jul 4, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

ripe tendon so if hes getting the warning

hey so i'm still waiting for your explanation as to how you magically could tell that the warning was in output

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

yep

gritty grail Jul 4, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

bro is just hugely prejudiced rn

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

ur usin a lot of findfirstchilds

#

tbh

#

for already existing instances you know are gonna be there

#

you should probably jus use a waitforchild once at the top somewhere and the rest of the instances shouldnt have a problem loading before then

#

but

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:24 AM

#

this is the original script

local function CreateRoom(map, gamemode, timeofday)
    local template = script.ServerTemplate
    local clone = template:Clone()
    
    clone.Name = map.."_"..gamemode
    --clone.Hoster.Text = player
    clone.Map.Text = map
    clone.Gamemode.Text = gamemode
    clone.TimeOfDay.Text = timeofday
    clone.Parent = ServerListScroll
end```

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:24 AM

#

thats not the error

#

so can you jus do me a favour

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:24 AM

#

o

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:24 AM

#

and define the arg types

#

map : string, gamemode: string, timeofday : number etc etc

#

so i know what information you're passing

#

and for this "list", it seems to have nowhere to actually go bro ngl

#

if it isnt a scrolling frame where is it going?

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

its no list tho

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

and is it even visible

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

yes

#

it is

#

i double checked

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

can u show me the UI

#

on the screen

#

i could probably rewrite this in 2 mins bro ngl

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

gladly

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

ripe tendon i could probably rewrite this in 2 mins bro ngl

i wanna learn the problem

#

so i dont cause in the future

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

is that the UI

#

the whole thing

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

yes

#

entire

#

inside a ui

#

#

o wait im dmb

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

add a UIListLayout

#

and yes it does have a scrolling frame

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

i legit said ServerListScroll wasnt a scrolling frame

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

😭

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

mb

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

ripe tendon add a UIListLayout

i use gridlayout

#

is that ok?

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

yeah

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

alr

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

thing is it would structure it

#

where are u calling this function

#

is it the event you sent in scripting before?

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

yes

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

okay can u do me a favour

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

its calling in a sc ript

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

add a print statement

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

?

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

under the event

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

yes

ripe tendon Jul 4, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

and check if it prints

#

once it receives it

#

and also show me the event sequence

#

cos there might be something wrong there

surreal lava Jul 4, 2025, 12:29 AM
