I keep getting an error when I don't see any red "lines"?
I get this error in output: 17:41:04.203 - Workspace. .Talk.Script:3: attempt to index local 'plr' (a nil value) but I don't see any of those "red lines" in the script, and I have no idea why its saying plr isn't a variable.
Script:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if hit.Parent.ClassName == "Hat" and plr.PlayerGui.Talk then
print("...")
else
h = hit.Parent.Humanoid
if h ~= nil then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Talk:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
end
end
end)

Red lines only appear when there is a syntax error. Blue lines appear when you use a deprecated or nonexistent variable.
Your problem is that the GetPlayerFromCharacter method is returning nil. If something that is not a character touches the part that method will not be able to find the player and will return nil.
You will have to modify the below code because if plr is found then hit.Parent cannot be a Hat therefore it will never be called.
I also added FIndFirstChild to prevent future errors.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr then
if hit.Parent.ClassName == "Hat" and plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Talk") then
print("...")
else
h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h ~= nil then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Talk:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
end
end
end)
