Help With If Statements?
while true do
wait(.5)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
if player then
local oldpants = player.Pants
local oldshirt = player.Shirt
if oldpants then
player.Pants:Destroy()
end
if oldshirt then
player.Shirt:Destroy()
end
end
end
I need this script to destroy a shirt and pants if a player is wearing them. However, if the player isn't wearing a shirt or pants already, the script breaks. How do I fix it to not break like that?

If an object doesn't exist, e.g., player.Pants, you don't get nil. You get an error.
If you aren't sure that an object exists, you can use parent:FindFirstChild(childname) to search for it. It will instead return nil if it doesn't exist.
As an aside: don't do something like player.Pants:Destroy() since you have the variable oldpants that already has it. Use variables if you have defined them.
local oldpants = player:FindFirstChild("Pants")
if oldpants then
oldpants:Destroy()
end
