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:
local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Char = Player.Character
Char.Hitboxes.Part.Touched:Connect(function(inst)
if Char.Hitboxes.Part.Active.Value == true then
local player
if game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(inst.Parent) or inst.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").Parent.Name then
player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(inst.Parent) or inst.Parent.Name
else print("no")
end
--------
local Character
if player.Character or game.Workspace[player.Name] then
Character = player.Character or game.Workspace[player.Name]
else print("no")
end
print(Character)
print(Player.Name .. Player.Parent.Name)
end
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
part.Touched:Connect(function(object)
local character = object.Parent
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if player and character then
print("both player and character detected")
end
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
if Char.Hitboxes.Part.Active.Value == true then
to
if Char.Hitboxes.Part.Active.Value == true and inst ~= nil then
