How do I reference a player's character model to edit humanoid properties with a local script?
I'm trying to use a local script that uses a bool value in my Player's stats (created with a data store) that determines if they are in battle or not. The script sets the humanoid properties WalkSpeed and JumpPower to 0.
local Fighting = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("PlayerStats").InBattle -- Value determining whether they are in battle
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local humanoid = character.Humanoid -- I've also set to character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"), I believe there's no difference, and I don't see one.
while true do
if Fighting.Value == true then -- if they are fighting, they can't move
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
humanoid.JumpPower = 0
else
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end
wait(0.01)
end
end)
end)
When I run the game and set the InBattle.Value to true, nothing happens and no errors occur. I also tried running a server which didn't work. I believe I'm having trouble referencing the humanoid object to edit with my code.

Here I understand what your intention was, but there is no way to check if it is true or false, it is not the same as a part where you can check if CanCollide is true or false. Here you would have to check if the BoolValue is in the folder or not .
while true do
if Fighting.Value == true then -- if they are fighting, they can't move
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
humanoid.JumpPower = 0
Here is the script I made, if you have any questions ask, if it is within my power I will answer them
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
repeat wait() until char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local human = char.Humanoid
local playerstat = Instance.new("Folder")
playerstat.Name = "PlayerStats" --Here I created the folder in the same script, but you can remove it if you have already made it in another script
playerstat.Parent = plr
while wait(2) do
local Fighting = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStats")
local inbat = Fighting:FindFirstChild("InBattle") -- You have to see if the BoolValue is in your "PlayerStats" folder
if inbat then --If he is then
human.WalkSpeed = 0
human.JumpPower = 0
else -- if not
human.WalkSpeed = 16
human.JumpPower = 50
end
end
