Problems finding a players character?
01 | Player = script.Parent.Parent |
02 | Character = Player.Character |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
04 | player.Chatted:connect(function(msg) |
05 | if msg == "Equip" then |
06 | print("DIE") |
07 | Part = Instance.new("Part") |
08 | Part.Size = Vector3.new(5,5,5) |
09 | Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") |
10 | Weld = Instance.new("Weld",Character) |
11 | Weld.Part0 = Weld.Parent["Right Arm"] |
12 | Weld.Part1 = Part |
13 | Weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0) *CFrame.new(0, 0, 5) |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 | end) |
script.Parent.Parent gets me to DataModel suddently?

First of all, make this a LocalScript if it is being used inside the player. Secondly, you do not need to write a "PlayerAdded" event to get the player's chat. Just do:
1 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 |
3 | repeat wait() until Player.Character --Wait for the character to spawn in |
4 |
5 | local Character = Player.Character |
6 |
7 | Player.Chatted:connect(function(Msg) |
8 | --Stuff |
9 | end) |

He can't use a local script because of Filtering Enabled. aquathorn321 858 — 9y

You have to make sure the character has loaded first, and update the character whenever it respawns. Also, parent the weld to the brick, because welds should always be parented to their C0 values
Make sure this script is in ServerScriptService
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
02 | repeat wait() until player.Character --wait for the character to load |
03 | local character = player.Character --define character |
04 | game.Players.CharacterAdded:connect(function(c) |
05 | character = c --update the character whenever a new one respawns |
06 | end) |
07 | player.Chatted:connect(function(msg) |
08 | local arm = character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm") --make a variable for the arm |
09 | if not arm then return end --terminate code if there is no arm |
10 | if msg:lower() == "equip" then |
11 | print("DIE") |
12 | Part = Instance.new("Part") |
13 | Part.Size = Vector3.new(5,5,5) |
14 | Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") |
15 | Weld = Instance.new("Weld",arm) |
