Why does the character variable get nil'd ingame?
Inside a LocalScript:
ply=game.Players.LocalPlayer char=ply.Character hum=char.Humanoid
I have also tried:
ply=game.Players.LocalPlayer
char=ply:WaitForChild('Character')
hum=char:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
Errors in-game:
attempt to index local 'char', a nil value

You'll have to do
local char = ply.Character or ply.CharacterAdded:wait()
That last one will make the script yield till the characterAdded event is fired, and give the character as return instance.

Might I add, what do you use to define humanoid after that? MexicanGod13 6 — 7y

Theres no function for HumanoidAdded, you can use -----char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")------ instead. RubenKan 3615 — 7y
