Help with Local Scripting?
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key)
if Key == 'l' then
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.MO.Value == "Fire" then
local Part = Instance.new("Part")
local Fire = Instance.new("Fire", Part)
Fire.Size = 1
Fire.Heat = 1
Part.Shape = "Ball"
Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
Part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
Part.Parent = game.Workspace
Part.Position = p.Torso.Position + p.Torso.CFrame.lookVector*5
Part.Velocity = p.Torso.CFrame.lookVector*5 * 40 + Vector3.new(0,40,0)
Part.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
Part.TopSurface = "Smooth"
wait(5)
Part:Destroy()
Part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)
end
end
end)
I find this issue odd, but whatever. The issue is that the script can't find 'p' in line 18. Yes, this script is inside of a LocalScript. This issue also doesn't happen in offline-testing, I only get this issue with server testing. Some help with this issue? The LocalScript is inside of the StarterGui.

Scripts run on the client before the character is created, so you can't directly get the character right away. Instead, do this:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local p = Player.CharacterAdded:wait()

Neat, it works now, thanks! One more issue, the part where it's supposed to kill doesn't work and there aren't any messages about it in the output. Some help with that? Scootakip 299 — 8y

You're connecting to Touched after you've already destroyed the part. That doesn't make any sense. 1waffle1 2908 — 8y

Didn't catch that at first, thanks. Scootakip 299 — 8y
