Can't get "Humanoid" from a player?

Asked by

I get this error everytime :

Players.ItsAntonio_xD.PlayerScripts.LocalScript:1: attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild'

The code:

local humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function()
    print("hey")
end)

And if I remove the "WaitForChild" I get the same error

The script is in StarterPlayerScripts, and it is a local script too

Corrected Script:

wait() --  add some kind of wait so that you'll have enough time for the player to load, otherwise you'll receive an error
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local humanoid = player.Humanoid
humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Jump"):Connect(function()
    print("hey")
end)

You can use just do player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() Dovydas1118 1495 — 3y

That will function when a player's character spawns or respawns, it doesn't matter which you use, and you don't need it for this task. JesseSong 3916 — 3y
