Attempt to index nil with Parent?
Hi, I'm trying to make a fire sword and when it it activated on the second time, it will make the opponent burn. This is the the burning script in the firesword tool:
local cool = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and cool == false and hit.Parent ~= script.Parent.Parent.Parent then
if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
cool = true
if game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Burn")then
local burn = game.ServerStorage.Burn:Clone()
burn.Parent = hit
burn.Disabled = false
if burn ~= nil then
wait()
if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
local name = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent.Parent)
if name:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")then
name.leaderstats.Kills.Value = name.leaderstats.Kills.Value + 1
name.leaderstats.Coins.Value = name.leaderstats.Coins.Value + 1
end
end
end
end
script.Disabled = true
cool = false
end
end
end)
This will duplicate a burning script in my ServerStorage and send it to the hit part. here is the script:
while script ~= nil do
wait(0.1)
local check = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- 'Attempt to index nil with Parent 'error here
if check then
if script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
cool = true
local wa = Instance.new("Fire")
wa.Parent = script.Parent
for i = 1,5 do
script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
wait(1)
end
wa:Destroy()
script:Destroy()
cool = false
end
end
end
Please help me fix this error. Thank you!

The problem is that it can't find the parent of the game.
script.Parent = ServerStorage script.Parent.Parent = game script.Parent.Parent.Parent = nil
And you're also trying to find the player's humanoid inside server storage, which humanoid is not one of server storage children.
Fortunately, we can use the data from the first script to get the player's humanoid using remote events.
No changes need to be made except pasting the script.
First code:
local remoteevent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.ReplicatedStorage)
remoteevent.Name = "BurnEvent"
local cool = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(
function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and cool == false and hit.Parent ~= script.Parent.Parent.Parent then
if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
cool = true
if game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Burn") then
local burn = game.ServerStorage.Burn:Clone()
burn.Parent = hit
burn.Disabled = false
if burn ~= nil then
wait()
if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
local name = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent.Parent)
if name:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
name.leaderstats.Kills.Value = name.leaderstats.Kills.Value + 1
name.leaderstats.Coins.Value = name.leaderstats.Coins.Value + 1
emoteevent:FireServer(hit)
end
end
end
end
script.Disabled = true
cool = false
end
end
end
)
second code
local remoteevent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BurnEvent
remoteevent:OnServerEvent(hit)
while script ~= nil do
wait(0.1)
local check = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if check then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health > 0 then
cool = true
local wa = Instance.new("Fire")
wa.Parent = script.Parent
for i = 1, 5 do
hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health - 10
wait(1)
end
wa:Destroy()
script:Destroy()
cool = false
end
end
end
