Why does this error? "SampleText" is not a valid member of
Ok a quick explanation, This tool executes the "else" part if it doesn't find "PLRcrushed"
And that works, the problem is at the beginning I set "MPART" to "SampleText" but once the function is fired if the humanoid is R6 or R15 it sets "MPART" to a different string, though, it doesn't work.
The code errors and says "SampleText" is not a valid member of character, why? I'm literally setting it to a different string, Am I dumb or what am I missing
The variable is used later on the script as "plr[MPART]"
I'm pretty new to scripting tbh so sorry if the code is messy
local toolio = script.Parent
local Sounds = toolio.Handle.Sounds
local MPART = "SampleText"
function work(_,hit)
if hit:IsA("Part") or hit:IsA("MeshPart") then
if hit.Parent.ClassName ~= "Accessory" then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
plr = hit.Parent
end
elseif hit.Parent.ClassName == "Accessory" then
plr = hit.Parent.Parent
end
if plr:FindFirstChild("PLRcrushed") then
print("Player has been crushed already")
else
if plr.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.RigType.R6 then
MPART = "Torso"
elseif plr.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.RigType.R15 then
MPART = "LowerTorso"
end
(Keep in mind I know a lot of scopes aren't closed, that's because it isn't the full script, i sent the part that errors)

try this, Ive made some changes to what you have to make sure it doesn't error out...
local toolio = script.Parent
local Sounds = toolio.Handle.Sounds
local MPART = "SampleText"
--// new function to grab the player and the character from a part
function getCharacterAndPlayerfrom(part)
local ws = part.Parent
local Char
local Player
while ws ~= workspace do
Char = ws
ws = ws.parent
if(ws == workspace) then
break
end
end
if(Char ~= nil) then
Player = game.Players:getPlayerFromCharacter(Char)
end
return Player, Char
end
function work(_,hit)
if hit:IsA("Part") or hit:IsA("MeshPart") then
--[[ if hit.Parent.ClassName ~= "Accessory" then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
plr = hit.Parent
end
elseif hit.Parent.ClassName == "Accessory" then
plr = hit.Parent.Parent
end]]
local Player,Char = getCharacterAndPlayerfrom(hit)
if(Char ~= nil) then
--// is this part meant to be inside the player not the character? if it is then change Char to Player!
if Char:FindFirstChild("PLRcrushed") then
print("Player has been crushed already")
else
if Char.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.RigType.R6 then
MPART = "Torso"
elseif Char.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.RigType.R15 then
MPART = "LowerTorso"
else
--// Something else touched us
warn(hit,"[",hit.Parent,"] Touched us!!, \n Setting MPART to ERROR!", debug.traceback())
MPART = "ERROR!"
end
end
end
end
end
The new function will return nil on both player and character variables if the thing that has touched this object isn't a player. Like for instance a bullet fired from a gun is not a player etc...
Hope this helps!
