Why am I recieveing the error:attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild' on line 7 ?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local plylist = {game.Players:GetPlayers()}
if plylist[2] == nil then
if player.CharacterAdded then
player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local memez = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
memez.Parent = player.Character.Head
memez.Name = "Memez"
end
end
end)
Can someone please explain to me what is going wrong in this script and how I can fix? (It is not a local script)

Try getting used to using :GetService, for example: Instead of saying game.Players, say game:GetService(“Players”) RhysRocksRules 38 — 3y

Rather than player.CharacterAdded try this method:
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local plyList = {Players:GetPlayers()}
if plyList[2] == nil then
-- it checks for character or waits for character
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Character:WaitForChild('Head')
local memez = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
memez.Parent = Player.Character.Head
memez.Name = "Memez"
end -- plyList check
end) -- playerAdded
