Why Does My Localscript Only Work in Studio?
Here is the erroring code that breaks the script:
animation = script.Parent.Whack -- Set this to the animation to use.
If I try to fix it then it just moves to the next line that uses script.Parent.something. The error only happens in online mode. The error is:
Whack is not a valid member of tool
I see no other errors unless I fix it. Any ideas on it?

Problem
The only problem I can see is that since it works in studio and not in server it should be a latency problem, this happens because in studio everything is pretty much local so you don't have to wait for a server to create stuff so your local scripts run instantly. In server this doesn't happen as when a local scripts cause upons something in player or character that is server-sided then the local script is "local" which makes it run faster then the server can respond.
Solution
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character--To the top of every local script

I am not using the character but I am using things inside the tool so should I apply this to the object within the tool? Hexcede 52 — 9y

I set up a print function after it. I get no output and no errors. Do you have another idea? Hexcede 52 — 9y

My idea has been some temporary server to client error or glitch or possibly something to do with clients themselves. Hexcede 52 — 9y
