04 |
05 | if character:FindFirstChild(player.Name.."'s pet") then character[player.Name.."'s pet"]:Destroy() end |
06 |
07 |
08 | pet.Name = player.Name.."'s pet" |
09 |
10 | pet:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame) |

hello there! I’m here to talk about your problem. First of all most of the time the character doesn’t load yet. So i suggest you try this on line 1
1 | local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
so if the character hasn’t load yet, it will wait for it to load. Hope this works and helps!

That means that the player you gave is actually model, not a player. Find where a model was accidentally passed, then change it to a player (if the model is related to a player) or prevent equipPet from being used in that case (if the model is not related to a player).
You could quickly check what the model you accidentally passed by printing the passed player. If it's the player's character (this is a guess because not enough of the script was given), you give the result of GetPlayerFromCharacter to equipPet instead of the model directly. You could show the part of the script that uses equipPet if it's not a character and you want to let people find the mistake.
