How can I fix this script to run when touched?

This is a script that was made to communicate with a local part and change the local part's properties when touched by a player, however in testing, it does not work and shows this error in the output:

14:04:17.509 - Value is not a valid member of Model

14:04:17.510 - Script 'Workspace.Part.Script', Line 3

14:04:17.510 - Stack End

This is the script that I am using in the block that the player touches:

1script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
2    if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
3        hit.Parent.Value.Value = true
4    end
5end)

and this is the localscript that I am using to spawn the localpart, and change its properties when the player touches the brick that the script above is in:

01local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
02local container = Workspace:FindFirstChild("LocalBin")
03if not container then
04    container = Instance.new("Camera")
05    container.Name = "LocalBin"
06    container.Parent = Workspace
07end
08 
09local platform = Instance.new("Part")
10platform.CFrame = platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(23, 3.5, -119.5)
11platform.Anchored = true
12platform.Size = Vector3.new(2, 7, 7)
13platform.LeftSurface = "SmoothNoOutlines"
14platform.TopSurface = "SmoothNoOutlines"
15platform.Material = "Slate"
16 
17local StoneSound = Instance.new("Sound")
18StoneSound.Name = "Slateskin"
19StoneSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://270070244"
20StoneSound.Volume = 1
21StoneSound.Parent = game.Workspace.soundpart
22StoneSound.Looped = false
23StoneSound.Pitch = 0.8
24 
25platform.Parent = container
26 
27local p = Instance.new("BoolValue",character)
28p.Changed:connect(function()
29    game.Workspace.soundpart.Slateskin:Play()
30    for i=3.5, -3.8, -0.083 do
31        wait(0.01)
32        container.Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(23, i, -119.5)
33    end
34end)

There is nothing wrong with the second script, I am just using it as a reference just so that it may help, the only errors I am getting is from the first script that I mentioned at the beginning

make sure that the value object is put in the player everytime that there character spawns thats the best advice that i have for you

I am sorry but I do not know what you mean by that :c mrcool2 75 — 9y

the script is looking for an Object named value within the player and is not finding it and when you try to use it the computer is returning nil or nothing and breaking ProfessorSev 220 — 9y

What ProfessorSev meant is that you should probably spawn in the bin, parts, sounds, values, EVERY time the player spawns. Heres a function you can use.

1game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
2    plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
3        --Place the creation of the bin for the local parts, actual parts, sounds, values, here.
4        --It will be run every time the player respawns, because local parts are removed upon death.
5    end)
6end)

Messed up the code a bit when i first wrote it, its fixed now tho joalars2 107 — 9y
