I keep getting this error in my pet script that I got from a tutorial, can anyone help me?
I followed a tutorial about how to make pets but the script keeps giving me an error that says: Workspace.Pet.Script:18: attempt to index nil with 'Position'
here is my code as well:
01 | local pet = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | function givePet(player) |
04 | if player then |
05 | local character = player.character |
06 | if character then |
07 | local humRootPart |
08 | local newpet = pet:Clone() |
09 | newpet.Parent = character |
10 |
11 | local bodyPos = Instance.new('BodyPosition', newpet) |
12 | bodyPos.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) |
13 |
14 | local bodyGyro = Instance.new('BodyGyro', newpet) |
15 | bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) |

Is this a local script or server script? JamiePro248alt 0 — 4y

You're getting this error becuase you defined the bodyposition and bodygyro just in the function. Try to write the variable in the start of the script, and when you have the pet you parent to it. See the example:
01 | local pet = script.Parent |
02 | local bodyPos = Instance.new("BodyPosition") |
03 | local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro") |
04 |
05 | function givePet(player) |
06 | if player then |
07 | local character = player.character |
08 | if character then |
09 | local humRootPart |
10 | local newpet = pet:Clone() |
11 | newpet.Parent = character |
12 |
13 | bodyPos.Parent = newpet -- Sets the parent of bodyPos -- |
14 | bodyPos.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) |

When you use local, the variable its on the scope of the if statement, so the script off the scope will see as nil.
