my search system is not working

[charred rapids]

u can join me in studio for help i have saved everything

local searchBox = scrollingFrame.Parent.Parent.Frame2.TextBox

-- Cache pet frames and ensure they are valid
local petFrames = {}
for _, child in ipairs(scrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
    if child:IsA("Frame") then
        table.insert(petFrames, child)
    end
end

local function filterPets()
    local query = string.lower(searchBox.Text):match("^%s*(.-)%s*$") -- Trim whitespace
    for _, item in ipairs(petFrames) do
        -- Ensure frame is still valid
        if item and item.Parent then
            local intVal = item:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("IntValue")
            if intVal then
                local petName = string.lower(intVal.Name)
                item.Visible = query == "" or petName:find(query, 1, true) == 1
            else
                item.Visible = false -- Hide frames without IntValue
            end
        else
            -- Remove invalid frame from table
            table.remove(petFrames, table.find(petFrames, item))
        end
    end
end

-- Use FocusLost for better performance and debounce
local lastQuery = ""
local debounce = false
searchBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    task.wait(0.3) -- Debounce to prevent lag
    if searchBox.Text ~= lastQuery then
        lastQuery = searchBox.Text
        filterPets()
    end
    debounce = false
end)

-- Initial call to set visibility
filterPets()```

This code looks AI generated and kind've hard to follow

What's exactly the issue?

[vernal sail]

what is not working about it and, most importantly, what steps have you taken to try to fix it?

[velvet vapor]

please dont post ai code here

if you are vibe coding and have no idea what the error with your code is you need to atleast learn the basics

your issue is this code is extremely overcomplicated for a string.lower() string.find()

[modest cradle]

i can't read this at all

and its not a graphic problem

[charred rapids]

sry im a ui dev i wanted to make this system

[charred rapids]

like i wanna make a search system

[charred rapids]

there is literaly a tag for ai

[charred rapids]

yo so im a ui dev
i made this ui today i made the basic scripts by ai
and i need to make a script which is used to search pets
like i used 1st chat gpt it didnt work
then i told it that we can use values as the system can search it
after that did not work i went to gods gift youtube but all the turtorial werent same

now im asking here

[modest cradle]

horrendously relatable

tho pulling this off might be difficult

[charred rapids]

i thaught getting all the info and turning into a trade req was going to be hard but its more hard

[modest cradle]

...a trade?

isn't this just to search stuff in inventory

[charred rapids]

i went out of topic its also something i need to make

[vernal sail]

ui is easy, scripting it/making it functional not so much. the way I see it you got 3 choices, you can either just place the ui buttons and elements for search-sort-filter and call it a day, commission a scripter to write the search-sort-filter for you, or learn how to write the search-sort-filter thing yourself. I very much doubt chatgpt can handle search-sort-filter algorithm

[vernal sail]

appreciate

[charred rapids]

can this work?

the trade thing is fun, you have to make it cooldown every time some element of the trade state changes so you can't catch people in an accidental doubleclick when adding stuff then removing it quickly to scam. fun

i'm talking about in-game trading pets and whatnot

k

[vernal sail]

also lowkey grow a garden clone 💀

[vernal sail]

search sort filter is context dependent you're better off commissioning someone or learning it. they're a bit annoying to make but not all that hard, beginner to intermediate can make them (s1~s2)

google it

[charred rapids]

U know the grow a garden trade games where u can trade they r very good and my brother wants to make one as he going to bording school
