How can I get a player's character and humanoid from a server-side script?
I've searched through so many devforum posts yet I have not found an answer. I need to find the character to get the humanoid so when a player activates an admin command to kill a player, the player stated is killed. Here's my script.
Once again, it's a server script.
01 | commands.kill = function(sender, arguments) |
02 |
03 | print("Kill command fired by "..sender.Name) |
04 | local plrToKill = arguments[1] |
05 | if plrToKill == "me" then |
06 | plrToKill = string.lower(sender.Name) |
07 | arguments[1] = plrToKill |
08 | end |
09 | local plrChar = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plrToKill) |
10 |
11 | if plrToKill then |
12 | local plr = findPlayer(plrToKill) |
13 |
14 | if plr then |
15 | local plrHum = nil |

Everything else works fine, but I get an error saying "attempt to index nil with 'Humanoid' which I find very confusing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Print ''arguments[1]'' and tell me the result, I think I know the issue Cirillix 110 — 3y

If 'arguments[1]' is "me", then you've changed the username to all lowercase. Clearly, your username will not match that Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

Furthermore, you're trying to make a reference to 'Humanoid.Health', which is something you cannot do; adjusting 'Health' will only adjust the variable Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

When you refer to a property, you read from it. Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

And why not just set 'Humanoid.Health' to zero? Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

And why search Workspace when you can just look into Player's directly? Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

You can use a remoteevent on the server to get the player and players character. Oliver_Bocch 32 — 3y
