How come my local script doesn't work outside build mode?

Asked 229 views1 answers
local enabled = true
Player = script.Parent.Parent
character = Player.CharacterAdded:wait();
mouse = Player:GetMouse()
run = game:GetService("RunService")
Torso = Player.Character.Torso

function onKeyDown(key)
	key = key:lower()
	if key == "e" then
		f = Instance.new("Fire")
		f.Color = Color3.new(0, 85, 255)
		f.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(0, 170, 255)
		f.Size = 15
		f.Heat = 25
		f.Parent = Torso
		y = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		y.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
		y.velocity = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector*80
		y.Parent = Torso
		game.Debris:AddItem(f,4)
		game.Debris:AddItem(y,2)
	end
end

mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)

two questions in the same hour....a new kind of low u.u

CharacterAdded:wait() doesn't return a character. Just remove line 3 altogether. The arguments for Color3 are numbers between 0 and 1, so to get the correct number, use your number (for example 85) and do 85/255 to get the correct number.

LocalScripts (when Workspace.FilteringEnabled is set to true) can't change things in the server side. But it will work client side. Try setting Player to game.Players.LocalPlayer instead.

You need to still wait for the character. Maybe change line 3 to just the Player.CharacterAdded:wait()

I can't give much more advice than what people have told you but I fixed it up for you

local enabled = true
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while not Player.Character do wait(.03) end
character = Player.Character
mouse = Player:GetMouse()
run = game:GetService("RunService")
Torso = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Torso")

function onKeyDown(key)
    key = key:lower()
    if key == "e" then
        local f = Instance.new("Fire")
        f.Color = Color3.new(0, 85, 255)
        f.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(0, 170, 255)
        f.Size = 15
        f.Heat = 25
        f.Parent = Torso
        local y = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
        y.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
        y.velocity = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector*80
        y.Parent = Torso
        game.Debris:AddItem(f,4)
        game.Debris:AddItem(y,2)
    end
end

mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)
