Lua error attempt to index nil value while checking if player has the correct amount of a item

Question

This script allows people to produce meth, starting production will succeed when you have the right amount of objects in your inventory. Only when you don't have the right amount you should get a notification and you don't get that notification.. Following error pops up: SCRIPT ERROR: @ns-meth/server.lua:18: Attempt to index a nil value.

Code:

RSCore = nil

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while RSCore == nil do
        TriggerEvent('RSCore:GetObject', function(obj) RSCore = obj end)
        Citizen.Wait(0)
    end
end)

RegisterServerEvent('RSCore_methcar:start')
AddEventHandler('RSCore_methcar:start', function()
    local src = source
    local Player = RSCore.Functions.GetPlayer(src)
    local amount = 0
    
    if Player.Functions.GetItemByName('acetone').amount >= 5 and Player.Functions.GetItemByName('lithium').amount >= 2 and Player.Functions.GetItemByName('methlab').amount >= 1 then
        
        TriggerClientEvent('RSCore_methcar:startprod', src)
        Player.Functions.RemoveItem('acetone', 5)
        Player.Functions.RemoveItem('lithium', 2)
    
    else 
        if Player.Functions.GetItemByName('acetone').amount <= 4 and Player.Functions.GetItemByName('lithium').amount <= 1 and Player.Functions.GetItemByName('methlab').amount <= 0 then
            RSCore.Functions.Notify("Je hebt niet de juiste benodigdheden!", "error")
        end
    end
end)

    local rnd = math.random(-5, 5)
    TriggerEvent('KLevels:addXP', src, 20)
    Player.Functions.AddItem('meth', math.floor(qualtiy / 2) + rnd)
    
end)

    Player.removeInventoryItem('methlab', 1)
end)

            end
        end
    end
end)

please provide full information from the error. On what line does it error, does it have lines with filenames after this line (stacktrace)? — Spar, Nov 18 '20 at 20:21
Some of your functions gives you `nil` instead of table. Check if `Player.Functions.GetItemByName('lithium')` gives you table or nil back if your character has no lithium at all. — Darius, Nov 18 '20 at 20:37
I edited it, now you can see the whole code and the error on line 18. — Jelle, Nov 18 '20 at 20:40
Then `Player.Functions.GetItemByName(itemname)` gives you nil instead of table. You need to check for nil and then get field amount or add extra function like `function getAmount(name) return Player.Functions.GetItemByName(name) and Player.Functions.GetItemByName(name).amount or 0 end` and use this function instead of amount directly — Darius, Nov 18 '20 at 20:54
