Script that shrinks players avatar upon joining can't find humanoid?

Asked 108 views1 answers

So I made a simple script that is meant to shrink a players avatar once they join the game, but when I run it I get an error telling me it can't find the players humanoid, I've tried finding the humanoid with 4 different methods and the script can find the players username easily, if anyone could point out what I've done wrong I would greatly appreciate it!

function PlayerSize(player)
	local SizeValue = 0.6
	local Character = player.Character 
	
	print(player)
	
	local humanoid = Character.Humanoid
	if humanoid then 
		print("humanoid found")
		
		if humanoid:FindFirstChild("BodyHeightScale") then
			humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = SizeValue
		end
		if humanoid:FindFirstChild("BodyWidthScale") then
			humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = SizeValue
		end
		if humanoid:FindFirstChild("BodyDepthScale") then
			humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = SizeValue
		end
		if humanoid:FindFirstChild("HeadScale") then
			humanoid.HeadScale.Value = SizeValue
		end
			
		end
end

wait(2)
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	PlayerSize(player)
end

local player
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
	player = Plr
end)
function PlayerSize(SizeValue)
    local Character = player.Character 

    print(player)

    local humanoid = Character.Humanoid
    if humanoid then 
        print("humanoid found")

        if humanoid:FindFirstChild("BodyHeightScale") then
            humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = SizeValue
        end
        if humanoid:FindFirstChild("BodyWidthScale") then
            humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = SizeValue
        end
        if humanoid:FindFirstChild("BodyDepthScale") then
            humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = SizeValue
        end
        if humanoid:FindFirstChild("HeadScale") then
            humanoid.HeadScale.Value = SizeValue
        end

        end
end

PalyerSize(0.6)

I think the player was nil so you can't find the character so try using game.Players.PlayerAdded this function will run if player joins and if you do game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)) then this is the Plr is the Player so type local Player or i never try it local Plr so maybe it will asign automaticly but back to loacl Player and in the function you do Player = Plr so the Player is now the variable Player !I just want to mention it's Object so if you want to print player it's better to type Player.Name!
