I can't fix weird error in output. This has never happened to me before, can someone help?

Asked 268 views1 answers

So I made a sitpart that when touched the player gets sit even if they don't want to be sitted. Here is the script:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	Humanoid.Sit = true
end)

It works fine for me but when I look at the output this error appears: |23:32:20.221 Workspace.SitPart.Script3: attempt to index nil with 'Sit' - Server - Script:3

I have tried fixing it but I can't fix it. I have also tried adding a debounce to the script which wasn't successful because that same problem up there appeared in the output so I think that blocked the debounce from working.

"Attempt to index nil with ..." means that the Instance of the property you're trying to access doesn't exist.

The problem is that the part being used with the touched event is also touching part(s) that don't have Humanoid within their parent. Try this out:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if Humanoid then --Checks to see if a Humanoid is actually present
		Humanoid.Sit = true
	end
end)
