I am trying to make an animation when you pick up stuff but it keeps saying:
Workspace.Part.Script:2: attempt to index nil with 'Character'
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
local ani = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Pickup)
ani:Play()
end)
Local player cannot be used in Server Sided script. However, you can utilize the first parameter of a click which is the player who clicked it. Try this out:
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
local ani = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Pickup)
ani:Play()
end)
This discussion is preserved as it was. New answers, comments, and votes are closed.

it cant find ani thats why
ani is in the click detector function thing but your looking for it in a place it isnt
You are trying to interact with something that doesnt exist.
Server-sided Scripts aren't localized, obviously, therefore no pointer exists to a linked Client Instance. Fortunately, the MouseClick RBXScriptSignal provides a parameter that refers to the Player Object of the user that clicked, so you can simply utilize that.
CJ, "ani" is short for "Animation". It's a variable used to reference the AnimationTrack Object that's returned by the :LoadAnimation() method of Humanoid.
If you don't need to reference the Object anywhere else, Error_404, then declaring a variable is redundant. You can directly call the :Play() method onto :LoadAnimation() due to it's Object-return.
