Why is the clone of the character nil?
Here's my code in a server script:
1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 |
3 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
4 | local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
5 | local clone = char:Clone() |
6 | local root = clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") |
7 | local char1 = workspace:WaitForChild("char1") |
8 | root.CFrame = char1:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame |
9 | end) |
I've tried so many things that I just cannot remember anything I've tried. Here's the error that pops up: ServerScriptService.Script:6: attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild'. Apologies if this is a stupid question, this has just been bothering me so much.

Player Character models are not archivable by default; if you set it so they are, then it would not be nil.
Here is a script you can put in the workspace that will make characters archivable by default
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
2 | plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function() |
3 | plr.Character.Archivable = true |
4 | end) |
5 | end) |
