Can anyone help me on this Small error with a script for Starter player animation?

Asked 179 views1 answers

Having a problem when trying to add a default idle animation for my starter player using the script.

The error message is this: Players.abelgetachew19.PlayerScripts.AnimationHandles:4: attempt to index nil with 'Humanoid' - Client - Animation Handles:4



local FloatingIdle = script.Floating
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local hum = char.Humanoid

local FloatingAnimation = hum:LoadAnimation(FloatingIdle)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(startanimation)
	if startanimation == true then
		FloatingAnimation:Play()
	end
end)

Add a :WaitForChild() to the variable hum

local FloatingIdle = script.Floating
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local FloatingAnimation = hum:LoadAnimation(FloatingIdle)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(startanimation)
    if startanimation == true then
        FloatingAnimation:Play()
    end
end)

I'm getting a new error message: "attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild'"

it's a server script as i understand it. grab the character and the humanoid from the .PlayerAdded event. Also replace "startanimation" with the player (.PlayerAdded only returns the new player)

It fixed the error but the script won't run at all. I give up
