attempt to index nil with 'Kick'?

Asked 1,213 views1 answers

i am making a game where if you press the wrong gui button, you will get kicked out. I tried both local and server scripts. This is my script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr)
	player:Kick("Wrong Answer. Please try again.")
end)

I may be stupid and I probably shouldn't use GetPlayerFromCharacter. This is the error in the output:

There are no parameters provided by the MouseButton1Click signal

Okay, so first of all it has to be a local script. You can easily define a player that clicks it in a local script, so no GetPlayerFromCharacter function is needed. Here's how it should look:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	plr:Kick("Wrong Answer. Please try again.")
end)

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
