Hello, I'm completely stumped on this, I'm not the best on scripting, so forgive me for any mistakes.
This is my script:
local GreenSaber = game.Lighting.GreenSaber:Clone()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = player.Backpack
wait(0.5)
GreenSaber.Parent = Backpack
end;
When I try to use it for my admin game, it comes up with the same error. Any help would be appreciated.
The problem is that the backpack for the player does not come up instantly like the other objects, so you have to use WaitForChild to wait for it to appear, and also if your object is nil, just check if it exists like so and also idk if your script is a localscript or a normal script, so this would not work in normal scripts
local greenSaber = game:GetService("Lighting"):FindFirstChild("GreenSaber")
local cloneSaber
if greenSaber then
cloneSaber = greenSaber:Clone()
end
if cloneSaber then
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
cloneSaber.Parent = backpack
end
Alright, thank you.
Instances aren't loaded immediately as soon as you launc/start the game. Use WaitForChild so that it waits for the instance to be loaded before it runs the other lines.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
local GreenSaber = game.Lighting.GreenSaber:Clone()
wait(0.5) -- This wait isn't necessary.
GreenSaber.Parent = Backpack
end;

Just so you know, if the tool is equipped, the parent of it isn't backpack.
