How to Make A Variable For Something With a Space?
Hello, I am trying to make a variable for the players Left Arm, found under character. I tried using FindFirstChild and WaitForChild and still got nothing when I tried to print the Parent. Here are the scripts:
Players = game:GetService("Players")
player = Players.LocalPlayer
char = player.Character
larm = char:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
print(larm.Parent)
The other script is the same expect for WaitForChild being there instead of FindFirstChild. Thanks for reading!

Try "larm = char["Left Arm"]". ISellCows 2 — 9y

When you see something like obj.property, that is sugar for using table-indexing with []:
obj.property is exactly the same thing as obj["property"].
Thus, you could use either char.Head or char["Head"].
While you can't use char.Left Arm, since a string literal can have spaces in it, you can use char["Left Arm"].
