I'm trying to get the Character from the Player in a LocalScript so I can get the HumanoidRootPart to teleport them, but every time I try to get the HRP, it just errors: attempt to index nil with 'character' (on line 2)
The code:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local HRP = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
print(HRP.Position)
This script should go in a localscript in StarterPlayer< StarterPlayerScripts
Code:
local Player = game:WaitForChild("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local HRP = Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if Player.Character then
print(HRP.Position)
end
end)
I meant starterplayerscripts.
Make sure to accept this answer if it helped you!
Make sure its a localscript not a normal script
This works because I tested it out!
It sadly doesn't work for me, I run it and it says 'attempt to index nil with 'CharacterAdded'' (I made sure it's a LocalScript and it's in StarterPlayerScripts)
Then you're doing something wrong.
Wait nevermind, it works if I play it, but not if I run it, thanks! I'll test it out a few more times to see if it works all the time and if it does I'll accept your answer
Well... I tried to do the thing I want, which is teleporting them, but now there's no errors no nothing, it just doesn't work
game.Workspace:WaitForChild("InsideContent") local TP = game.Workspace.InsideContent.TPWallLeft TP.Touched:Connect(function(TPActive) local Player = game:WaitForChild("Players").LocalPlayer local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) local HRP = Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") if Player.Character then local Seat = Vector3.new(game.Workspace.Transporta
I guess I'll accept your answer then, since it helped me get the HRP
if you need more help, dm me
it's very straight actually, "attempt to index nil with 'character'" so there player = nil
why? Players.LocalPlayer can be used only inside a local script and CAN NOT be used inside a server script and so it will return nil, this is probably your problem
Actually this is in a LocalScript
then your local script is in a wrong service, place in in StarterPlayer/StarterCharacterScripts or StartcerPlayerScripts depending on what you want to do

And you're positive its a localscript?
Yes, I'm positive
