Whats wrong? attempt to index local 'randomperson' (a nil value)

Asked by 9 years ago

So, I am trying to create a spectator handler for my game, Life and Death, and keep getting this error. What's wrong?

Here's the code,

-- Events
local spectate = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("PlayerSpectate")

-- Common variables
local players = game.Players:GetChildren()

-- Team variables
local survivors = BrickColor.new("White")
local zombies = BrickColor.new("Bright green")

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.PlayerSpectate.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, camera)
    wait(1)
    if player.Character ~= nil then
    player.Character:Destroy()
    player.Character = nil

    local randomperson = nil

    for i, v in pairs(players) do
        if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(v.Name) then
        randomperson = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(v.Name)
        end
    end

    wait() -- Make sure our camera does not glitch, meh
    camera.CameraSubject = randomperson.Humanoid
    end
end)

Here's the error,

17:58:54.464 - ServerScriptService.SpectateHandler:26: attempt to index local 'randomperson' (a nil value)
17:58:54.467 - Stack Begin
17:58:54.471 - Script 'ServerScriptService.SpectateHandler', Line 26
