Why does it attempt to index nil with parent? [closed]
Attempt To Index Nil With Parent
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr.Character
local character = plr.Character
local Mimic = plr.Character:Clone()
Mimic.Parent = workspace
Mimic.Head.Size = Vector3.new(10,10,10)
end)

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
Example
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
print(character.Name.." character has loaded in")
end)
end)

Good question, it's because the character has its 'Archivable' property false by default. That means you shouldn't be able to clone it in the first place therefore when you attempted to clone the character, it gave you 'nil' or nothing in return and as we all know nothing has no parent.
Add this line before cloning the character: plr.Character.Archivable = true

You need to do game.Workspace since the Workspace is inside of the game and also use the CharacterAdded function instead of the repeat wait.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local Mimic = plr.char:Clone()
Mimic.Parent = game.Workspace
Mimic.Head.Size = Vector3.new(10,10,10)
end)
end)
