attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild'?
i tried making an animation command but it says this. what should i do now? here's the script:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local point = script.Animation
local Prefix = "!"
local point = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if msg:Sub(1,6) == Prefix.."point" then
point:Play()
end
end)

The Character is nil. To get the character to not be nil you have to do this.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
if not Character or not Character.Parent then
Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local point = script.Animation
local Prefix = "!"
local point = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if msg:Sub(1,6) == Prefix.."point" then
point:Play()
end
end)
Hope this helps! :)

To condense it down I'd reccomened doing just "local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()". Benbebop 1049 — 3y
