Script not working?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
I can't seem to find why this Forcefield script isn't working can anyone help me?
ForceField = false
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local torso = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
plr:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" and forcefield == false then
if torso then
forcefield = true
local FF = Instance.new("ForceField", torso)
end
elseif key == "f" and forcefield == true then
ForceField = false
torso:FindFirstChild("ForceField"):Destroy()
end
end)

There are 2 things that I can point out in your script:
Variables need to remain case sensitive throughout the whole script. You have "ForceField" on lines 1 and 11, but you have "forcefield" on lines 7, 5, and 10. Keep them all in the same capitalization.
This LocalScript (Just check to make sure it's in one), is running before the character loads. Therefore, Line 3 will try to find a Torso before the character exists because it runs so fast.
Check this out:
ForceField = false
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until plr.Character
repeat wait() until plr.Character.Torso
local torso = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
plr:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" and ForceField == false then
if torso then
ForceField = true
local FF = Instance.new("ForceField", torso)
end
elseif key == "f" and ForceField == true then
ForceField = false
torso:FindFirstChild("ForceField"):Destroy()
end
end)
Things to check for:
Make sure this script is in StarterGui or StarterPack
Make sure this script is a LocalScript
