local light = Instance.new("PointLight")
light.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Character").Torso
Can somebody tell me why this does not work and how to fix this? There is no error. It is a very simple localscript and I can't think of any way how this doesn't work.
You cant waitforchild character, that just simply wont work. Instead, wait for the characteradded event to be fired, then put it inside Something like this.
local light = Instance.new("PointLight")
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
light.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso

As kepiblop said, you can't use WaitForChild on a Player Instance to get the Character. You can get the player's character from the property Character in the player
More specifically, Character is a reference to an Instance, but it isn't an Instance itself.
To be a bit more specific, If you made a instance inside that player named "Character" and used waitforchild or findfirstchild, It will return that instance.
