Workspace.Part.OnTouched:6: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild'?
Help, I have this error that doesn't mean ANYTHING to me. So I have this part that when it ontouched, it is supposed to clone the tool and put it inside the backpack. It doesn't clone it and it just moves the tool instead. Can anybody tell me what is going on?
local tool = game.ServerStorage.TestTool --Change TestTool to whatever you want
local inventory = tool:Clone()
function onTouched(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter()(hit.Parent)
if player:FindFirstChild("Backpack") then
inventory.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Put the hit.Parent inside of the GetPlayerFromCharacter brackets and add a check to see if whatever touched it has a humanoid DarkDanny04 407 — 4y

There are a few bugs with ur script but ill give u the fixed script and explain them
-- Also always put gears that need to be cloned in replicatedStorage as that is the storage ment for cloning not serverstorage
function onTouched(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- u did brackets wrong
if player then -- just check if its a player no need to check the backpack
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.TestTool:Clone() -- clone it here or else itll only clone once globally and only 1 person can get the tool
tool.Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack") -- use waitforchild here
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Hope this helped u explain all the bugs with ur script
