Script works in 'Run' but not 'Play Solo'? [ANSWERED] [closed]

Asked by 10 years ago

So I have a script inside of a Monster NPC that does stuff when it dies. (it's health get lowered when it touches a block called 'IceCube'. It worked in a different place, and when I tried it out in 'Run' mode it also worked. I even named a part 'IceCube' and killed him with that and everything worked

Then when I went to 'play solo' and used the water bucket, It still did damage and killed him, it's just the script didn't work

2 errors came up only on 'play solo':

17:17:16.946 - Torso is not a valid member of Part 17:17:16.947 - Script 'Workspace.Lava Monster.Head.DeathSound', Line 3 17:17:16.948 - Stack End 17:17:16.948 - Disconnected event because of exception 17:17:18.134 - Humanoid is not a valid member of Model 17:17:18.135 - Script 'Workspace.Lava Monster.Monster', Line 41 17:17:18.135 - Stack End

Here's the script:

script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.Torso.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
    script.Parent.Parent["Left Arm"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
    script.Parent.Parent["Left Leg"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
    script.Parent.Parent["Right Arm"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
    script.Parent.Parent["Right Leg"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
    script.Parent.Parent.Monster:Destroy()
    script.Parent.Roar:Play()
    wait(1.5)
    game.Workspace.Crumble:Play()
    script.Parent.Parent.Torso.Fire.Enabled = false
    script.Parent.Parent.Torso.Smoke.Enabled = true
    wait(4)
    script.Parent.Parent.Torso.Smoke.Enabled = false




end)

The problem is that Torso, and Humanoid has not loaded yet, so when the script fired, it did not find Torso or Humanoid, I have remade your script with some-what explanations, you could simply use the WaitForChild method [Which I did not use but should've :P], and that would've waited until the Torso and Humanoid have loaded;

function WaitForChild(str,obj) --I have created a new function for you; this will help to wait for the Child; not necesary, could've simply used 'str:WaitForChild(obj)', but eh :P
repeat wait() until str:FindFirstChild(obj) --This will repeat until the code finds 'obj' within 'str'
return str:FindFirstChild(obj) --This will return 'obj' when it is found
end --This ends the code block for the function

local Figure = script.Parent.Parent --Figure is the Script's Parent's Parent
local Torso = WaitForChild(Figure,"Torso") --This will repeat until 'Torso' is existant within 'Figure', and will return it
local LeftArm = WaitForChild(Figure,"Left Arm") --This will repeat until 'Left Arm' is existant within 'Figure', and will return it
local RightArm = WaitForChild(Figure,"Right Arm") --This will repeat until 'Right Arm' is existant within 'Figure', and will return it
local LeftLeg = WaitForChild(Figure,"Left Leg") --This will repeat until 'Left Leg' is existant within 'Figure', and will return it
local RightLeg = WaitForChild(Figure,"Right Leg") --This will repeat until 'Right Leg' is existant within 'Figure', and will return it
local Humanoid = WaitForChild(Figure,"Humanoid") --This will repeat until 'Humanoid' is existant within 'Figure', and will return it
WaitForChild(script.Parent,"Roar") --This will repeat until 'Roar' is existant within the Script's Parent
WaitForChild(Figure,"Monster") --This will repeat until 'Monster' is existant within 'Figure'
WaitForChild(game.Workspace,"Crumble") --This will repeat until 'Crumble' is existant within 'game.Workspace'
WaitForChild(Torso,"Fire") --This will repeat until 'Fire' is existant within 'Torso'
WaitForChild(Torso,"Smoke") --This will repeat until 'Smoke' is existant within 'Torso'

Humanoid.Died:connect(function() --This will fire when the Humanoid dies
Torso.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") --This will turn 'Torso''s BrickColor to 'Really black'
LeftArm.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") --So on
LeftLeg.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") --So on
RightArm.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") --So on
RightLeg.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") --And so on
Figure.Monster:Destroy() --This will destroy 'Monster' within 'Figure'
script.Parent.Roar:Play() --This will play the 'Sound' 'Roar'
wait(1.5) --Will wait '1.5' seconds [One and a half]
game.Workspace.Crumble:Play() --Will play the 'Sound' 'Crumble'
Torso.Fire.Enabled = false --This will disable the 'Fire' type instance within 'Torso'
Torso.Smoke.Enabled = true --This will enable the 'Smoke' type instance within 'Torso'
wait(4) --Will wait '4' seconds
Torso.Smoke.Enabled = false --This will disable the 'Smoke' type instance within 'Torso'
end) --This ends the code block for the Function/Event

Hope this helped!

Thank you so much! I've been working on this update for the past 3 days and It's finally coming to a close thanks to you! I was about to say "I don't think that's the problem because I removed the ragdoll script and it worked (then the same error happened again :P) but now I realize what that error message means and I can learn from this greatly! Thanks! SpazzMan502 133 — 10y

Yeah I have scripts that won't work in solo either.Your best bet is just to play your game to test it.

That's not an answer.... You must be new here. This isn't like Roblox forums where you comment whatever. SpazzMan502 133 — 10y

Ok, well I apologize sir. There is no way to fix your problem. Sorry for suggesting to you a solution. Have a great day crab. SprocketSoldier 0 — 10y

Instead of script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function() try game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function() SprocketSoldier 0 — 10y

2 Things - Read the question thoroughly, I was talking about a humanoid in a monster, not the local player. Also, don't be rude in Scripting Helpers. I joined yesterday but I at least know some rules SpazzMan502 133 — 10y
