I put in this code:
Workspace.Player.Humanoid.Health = 0
and when I run it Roblox comes up with this error:
22:28:21.376 - Player is not a valid member of Workspace
WHY!?
Note: Yet when I put in a wait it seems to work perfectly fine. WHY!?

Roblox is telling me Players is not a valid member of Workspace. Why?

The player doesn't get added to the workspace immediately.
To wait for a player to be loaded into the workspace, you have a few options.
- WaitForChild
workspace:WaitForChild("Player") -- not recommended
- CharacterAdded event
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
print("Character loaded!")
end)
- Waiting for player.Character to not be nil
while not player.Character do
wait()
end

Well obviously the code is running before the player is in, so that's why it works with the wait. Just a heads up, this won't work in online mode.
Thanks for the heads up
