It's an easy fix don't worry! all you have to do is put the code in a server script in order to do it. Fun Fact: scripters use PlayerAdded to get to LocalPlayer on a server script. Hope this fix works!

inside the PlayerAdded event you need to pass the player joining as a parameter so game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) player.CharacterAdded:Connect(start) end) this should work
