Help with detecting Character?
I get 2 errors in output:
attempt to index nil with Parent - Line 6
and
Argument 1 missing or nil - Line 12
I have no idea how to troubleshoot these errors and I need assistance with them if possible.
Code:
01 | local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent |
02 | local Char = Player.Character |
03 | Char.Hitboxes.Part.Touched:Connect(function(inst) |
04 | if Char.Hitboxes.Part.Active.Value == true then |
05 | local player |
06 | if game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(inst.Parent) or inst.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").Parent.Name then |
07 | player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(inst.Parent) or inst.Parent.Name |
08 | else print("no") |
09 | end |
10 | -------- |
11 | local Character |
12 | if player.Character or game.Workspace[player.Name] then |
13 | Character = player.Character or game.Workspace[player.Name] |
14 | else print("no") |
15 | end |
16 | print(Character) |
17 | print(Player.Name .. Player.Parent.Name) |
18 | end |
19 | end) |

don't really understand what you're trying to accomplish with your script, but if theres script.Parent.Parent.Parent then it sets up a new connection every time someone joins.
also, you should pick one and do GetPlayerFromCharacter or Humanoid.Parent.Name.
Detecting the character here is unnecessary. If you get the player with any of the two above, you already know the character will be inst.Parent
1 | part.Touched:Connect(function(object) |
2 | local character = object.Parent |
3 | local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) |
4 | if player and character then |
5 | print("both player and character detected") |
6 | end |
7 | end) |

I'm aware it sets a new connection, it's a function for each player. Thank you for your help! NykoVania 231 — 2y

Change
1 | if Char.Hitboxes.Part.Active.Value == true then |
to
1 | if Char.Hitboxes.Part.Active.Value == true and inst ~= nil then |
