if script.Parent.Parent.LineBox.Text == "1" then -- if line 1 for _v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do if v.Name:find("DeparturesBoard") then if script.Parent.Parent.LineBox.Text == "1" then local DB = game.Workspace.DeparturesBoard local F1 = DB.Screen.InfoFrame.F1 F1.Visible = true F1.FlightNumber.Text = script.Parent.Parent.FlightNumberBox.Text F1.Destination.Text = script.Parent.Parent.DestBox.Text F1####e#Text = script.Parent.Parent.GateBox.Text F1.Time.Text = script.Parent.Parent.TimeBox.Text F1.Status.Text = script.Parent.Parent.StatusBox.Text end end end if script.Parent.Parent.LineBox.Text == "1" then -- if line 1 for _v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do if v.Name:find("DeparturesBoard") then if script.Parent.Parent.LineBox.Text == "1" then local DB = game.Workspace.DeparturesBoard local F1 = DB.Screen.InfoFrame.F1 F1.Visible = true F1.FlightNumber.Text = script.Parent.Parent.FlightNumberBox.Text F1.Destination.Text = script.Parent.Parent.DestBox.Text F1####e#Text = script.Parent.Parent.GateBox.Text F1.Time.Text = script.Parent.Parent.TimeBox.Text F1.Status.Text = script.Parent.Parent.StatusBox.Text end end end --- After script that, when I execute the script, it calls 'v' a nil value, the 2nd one, where it says: "if v.Name:find("DeparturesBoard") then" and doesn't work. How can I fix this?

What is "find" that isnt a inbuilt function try :FindFirstChild("DeparturesBoard") #code print(string.rep("Lit",5))

No wonder why it keeps returning nil #code print(string.rep("Lit",5))

Yes, it is. That code wouldn't work Quantum since he is checking if someone's name contains DeparturesBoard. Unfortunately, it's less efficient than checking if it's equal, and it means that it would match ################## ## #####

I tried do :FindFirstChild("DeparturesBoard"), but keeps the same problem. Studio is saying that the second "v" is a nil value.

I just re-wrote the script and worked, weirdly.
