****Error: 17:26:35.993 - Workspace.Slide.Part.Script:6: attempt to index local 'Player' (a nil value)
Not making me sit.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local Player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
Player.Sit = true
end)
Because the Touched event fires whenever ANY physical object touched it (even ones that are not player models). And if that's true, we know most things in a game don't have humanoids in them. So when you're using findfirstchild for a Humanoid, and one doesn't exist, it will return a nil value. Then you're saying .Sit = true, which will cause an error since the script reads it as:
nil.Sit = true -- (since findfirstchild returned nil)
And then you'll get the infamous error message of: "Error, attempt to index global / local 'Player' (a nil value)"
We can easily fix this by adding some flow control to our function, based on the condition that the Humanoid actually exists before trying to change something that may not exist, like this:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local Player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
-- The code under this if statement will run if it's "Player" condition is true (which it will be, if it exists. If it doesn't, the script will simply ignore it without breaking.)
if Player then
Player.Sit = true
end
end)
Hope it helped.
Not sure if this will solve it but hey,
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local hitter = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hitter then --check to see if "humanoid" is a valid member of what hit it
hitter.Humanoid.Sit = true --changes the humanoid value, not the player
end
end)
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- gets player (possibly redundant but hey)
local humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid -- gets player's humanoid
if humanoid then
humanoid.Sit = true
end
end)
I tested it in studio and it worked. Enjoy.

No need to search for a humanoid inside a humanoid, you already referenced it.
