When I try to get something from player like character it says attempt to index nil with Character.?
I tried putting a script into ServerScriptService to determine when a player dies, but it dowsnt work! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.Character:Wait()
char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(workspace.Radio, plr.Name "Has Died", Enum.ChatColor.Red) end) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can't use LocalPlayer inside a Server Script, most of people do that. It's only used on LocalScript. To get the player, use the playerAdded event.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- code here
end)
Also, to get the character, use the characterAdded event.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
-- code here
end)
end)

Your error is on the line:
local char = plr.Character or plr.Character:Wait()
It should be:
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Yeah because you can't use that on a server script, only for LocalScripts Gabe_elvin1226aclan 323 — 4y

Try this:
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#plrs do
plrs[i].Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
local char = plr.Character
game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(workspace.Radio, plr.Name "Has Died", Enum.ChatColor.Red) end)
end
Give me a message if this doesn't work

'plrs[i].Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()' there's no Humanoid inside a player, it's inside the character. That won't totally work Gabe_elvin1226aclan 323 — 4y
