Attempt to index nil with pivotto???

[solar blade]

local des = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('Destination')
local reference = game.Workspace.reference
local rad = math.rad
local rotatAmount = 1
while wait(13) do
    des:PivotTo(reference.CFrame + Vector3.new(math.random(-100, 100), math.random(-20, 20) , math.random(-250, 250)))
    local newCFrame = des.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(-math.random(-45, 45), -math.random(-45, 45), rad(-math.random(-45, 45)))
    des:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(newCFrame)
end```

it just said attempt to index nil with pivotto

and then breaks

womp womp

[keen whale]

wtf is des

Is it a moddel?

[pearl berry]

maybe des doesnt have a pivot

[pearl berry]

also dont use wait() instead use task.wait()

[keen whale]

Either des doesn't exist or you're trying to use :PivotTo on something that ISN'T a model

[solar blade]

nope

[solar blade]

as for des not existing

a different script changes the name of things to destination cycling through a list of destinations

well

2

I'm scrapping off a moving platform script I liked

Des is a regular part

[torn robin]

u use pivotto on models

not part

[solar blade]

ooooooohhhhhhhh

wait

so

if I group it as a model

does that work?

[torn robin]

yeah

but u could just set the parts cframe

[solar blade]

no wait that breaks the other script

[torn robin]

part.cframe = cframe.new()

[solar blade]

ahh

I will try that

[torn robin]

or well in ir case

[pearl berry]

But why the hell doesnt :PivotTo() work

It should work for parts

[torn robin]

part.cframe = reference.cframe + vector3.new()

[solar blade]

running rn

I'll tell yall if it works

thank u :3

[torn robin]

oh yeah ur right

it is for parts too i forgot

[keen whale]

It shouldn't be

[torn robin]

do waitforchild

not findfirst

@solar blade

then it’ll prob work with pivotto

[solar blade]

?

ok

wa

[pearl berry]

I just tried

[solar blade]

but I already changed from pivot

[keen whale]

Yeah I'm wrong

[pearl berry]

script.Parent:PivotTo(CFrame.new(5,10,5))

ts worked for me

and Parent is a part

[solar blade]

now it says

attempted to index nil with Cfram

e

[torn robin]

do the waitforchild

where u reference des

[solar blade]

k

[torn robin]

and try again

[pearl berry]

No I think they changed it and it was for only models before

[torn robin]

yeah

it used to be for models only

where it’d change primarypart cframe

[solar blade]

COME ON BABY

WORK

...

"Argument one missing or nil"

?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

oh I see

code autocorrect

added a second set of brackets

[keen whale]

It says BaseParts and Models

So PivotTo works

[pearl berry]

Im trying to figure TypeChecker out since 3h why are you crashing out after 5s 😭

[solar blade]

?

I aint

[pearl berry]

alr alr

[solar blade]

ok now it says infinite yield possible

I HAVE AN IDEA

SINCE THE DESTINATION CYCLER

CYCLES THROUGH THE LIST

AND CHANGES THE NEXT ONE

TO THE NEXT NUMBER

[pearl berry]

bro gets 5 diffrent errors in the same script how is that even possible

[solar blade]

I CAN CHANGE IT TO LOOK FOR DESTINATION 2

MUAHAHAHA

[solar blade]

lol

(I've been scripting for 5 years and this is embarrasing)

[pearl berry]

it is

[solar blade]

I FIGURED IT OUT

[pearl berry]

--!strict

export type Core = {
    DEBUG: boolean,
    _VERSION: string,
    test : () -> ()
}

local _core : Core = {
    DEBUG = false,
    _VERSION = "0.1",
    test = function() end
}

_core.test = function()
    print("working")
end



local core = setmetatable({}, {
    __index = _core,
    __newindex = function(_, key, newvalue)
        
        if key:match("^_") then
            error(`\n{key} is read-only`)
            return 
        end
        if typeof(rawget(_core, key)) ~= typeof(newvalue) then 
            error(`\n{key} assigned wrong type: \nexpected: {typeof(rawget(_core, key))}, \ngot: {typeof(newvalue)}`)
            return 
        end

        _core[key] = newvalue
    end
})
return core

ts is my progress after like 3 years

[solar blade]

wowza

maybe I should have read tutorials

instead of just

scripting

[torn robin]

??

how tf r u 5 years deep and stuck on output errors

no offense

😭

[pearl berry]

thats no offense like he legit gotta be stupid or something

[torn robin]

chill

if he’s just been freestyling luau without tutorials then that’d make sense but would b dumb of him

so much to learn from even the shortest of tutorials

[solar blade]

:(

I am

dum

I mean I do watch tutorials sometimes

but

[torn robin]

@solar blade if u wanna learn more u should go indepth with brawldevs series’

and after that just freestyle on ur own and when u think of a cool idea but not 100% sure on how to do it

either ask sum1 smarter in the language or use ai

[pearl berry]

bro hes stuck on the like basics for 5 years like

[torn robin]

don’t let ppl say ai is bad for learning it’s great if u use it to LEARN not code for you

[torn robin]

😭 😭

[fluid ocean]

stare at roblox docs until all you can see when you close your eyes is the roblox docs and all you can dream and think about is roblox studio and variables and errors and misery

[torn robin]

i woke up today

[fluid ocean]

👍

[torn robin]

thinking about functions

for some reason

[fluid ocean]

valid

[torn robin]

i was working last night on my time project

on this petrification ray

[pearl berry]

I think about how things could be coded wehn I play games

[torn robin]

based off dr stone

[torn robin]

yeah exacrly

[fluid ocean]

bro on god

[torn robin]

honestly a good way 2 be more into lua

[fluid ocean]

all i think about is optimisation and modularising script atp

[torn robin]

tears of sadness when i see a game like grow a garden with millions active

a game made in a week

[fluid ocean]

💔

most popular game in the world btw

BY FAR

[torn robin]

and then games that dedicated years of their lif

[pearl berry]

yo pls check this out

[torn robin]

tens of thousands of lines

[pearl berry]

🥀🥀

[fluid ocean]

literally

[fluid ocean]

alright

[solar blade]

I'm stuck on syntaxes man

like

random ah wording

[pearl berry]

im trying to figure TypeChecking out since 3h

[solar blade]

zam

I've been working on my game

which is coming along epically

[torn robin]

@solar blade whats ur game abt

[pearl berry]

wym i dont get it

[solar blade]

time travel

uh

u get stuck in a facility

and u use a time machine

to solve puzzles and escape

I'm spending sooo many hours on this

[pearl berry]

@solar blade

[solar blade]

what

what don't you get?

it's like

pivot to vs bloody

uh

cframe.new

or

brickcolor vs color

[torn robin]

good for you

[solar blade]

this script I'm doing rn, the one I needed help with is for a boss AI

[torn robin]

like 5 days ago i randomly thought abt making time abilities like rewinding and timestopping with partial effects

so i made them

and polished in everyw ay possible

so im thinking abt making a game where

the person with the most hours has this timelord status where they bave these abilities based around manipulation of time

and every1 else fights him

and whoever kills him is the new one

[candid talon]

** You are now Level 7! **

[torn robin]

and u can use ur time spent ingame to buy new weapons to fight him

[solar blade]

interestin

[torn robin]

and of course i’d make it so u can buy time or be the next timelord automatically with robux

🥺

[solar blade]

ofc

ofc

lol

[solar blade]

say reeses

can u help me with another thing pretty pleaaaseee

[torn robin]

what thing

[solar blade]

Cframe is all multiply and add and what not, I wanna go from 0 on angles so I can have random angles from 0 to 45, but if I go from 0, the POSITION also goes from 0.

which breaks the whole thing :(

[pearl berry]

local newCFrame = oldCFrame * CFrame.Angles()

[solar blade]

but

doesn't that just

that's not usually how multiplication works

like

but ok

I trust you

wise man

[pearl berry]

For CFrames * is like for Vektors +

[torn robin]

mb i was lowk on tiktok

[torn robin]

yeah

[torn robin]

i thought the same thing when i first used .angles

[solar blade]

oh ok so

so multiply just means set in stone

very cool

thanks!

[pearl berry]

in which applications do you use stone?

[torn robin]

what

[pearl berry]

stone is a programming language ig

[torn robin]

it’s a saying

“set in stone” as in it doesn’t move or it’s exact

dats what he meant if ur talkin ab that

[crystal dagger]

how did yall turn Nil to 200 message story

when its like naming problem or whatever

[pearl berry]

I think he means

local newthingy = a set b

local newthingy = a * b

[pearl berry]

we fixed that

we just chilling

[crystal dagger]

id be impressed if yall didnt

even tho i once spent i think 200 or 500? i forgot

messages

explaning return

[pearl berry]

wehn someone asked me abt return i just sent him ts lol https://www.lua.org/pil/4.4.html

[solar blade]

lol

500messages for return

[solar blade]

erm

ok spamdetection
