Can you post your script. we have almost nothing to work from. Ideally in/around line 87, the part where if breaks at. Then we can help you TGazza 1336 — 3y

This part of the code is causing the problem: Character:FindFirstChild(pet) -- If the pet, is called pet. It would be Character:FindFirstChild("Pet") -- It expects a string to find. If this still does not work, it cant find the pet. Try this:

-- Locate player -- 
local Character = player.Character
if Character:FindFirstChild("Pet") then
local Pet = Character:FindFirstChild("Pet")
Pet:Destroy()
else
warn("Player does not have a pet / pet not found!") -- This will output a warning, if there is no pet
end

Sry, for the late responce. But make sure "Pet" is actually what the pets name is, Or. if its located somewere else. Such as in a folder, look for that. Jay123abc2 241 — 3y

i never use :Destroy(), it often ruins things for no reason. I would make a folder in replicated storage that unused things go in for example:

local folder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Folder
Pet.Parent = folder
