Change local Char = player.Character to local Char = player:WaitForChild("Character") ? Since the character isn't loaded yet when the script is working Nguyenlegiahung 1091 — 5y

Is your script a local script? cause you can't use localplayer on normal script (Also local script doesn't work in ServerScriptService) Nguyenlegiahung 1091 — 5y

Why do you have 2 variables for player? Remove one.

`1`	`local` `Char` `=` `player.Character` `or` `player.CharacterAdded:Wait()` `--waits for the player if it doesn't find one`

It seems your script is a ServerScript (reading the comments), you can not get the LocalPlayer from a ServerScript, only from a LocalScript.

i sent the local script in answers you mind checking it out themaxogamer 58 — 5y

Why do you have 2 definitions of the LocalPlayer? Remove one and it should work. PrismaticFruits 842 — 5y
