Why did it cause an error that I do not feel relates to the problem?

local telestart = script.Parent
local teleend = game.Workspace.TeleEnd

function teleportPlayer(part)
    local torso = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso")
        torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(teleend.Position) + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
        print(1)    --For testing
    end



telestart.Touched:connect(teleportPlayer)

18:30:28.647 - Workspace.TeleStart.Script:6: attempt to index local 'torso' (a nil value)

I'm using my body parts to help make the parameter function( eg. Left Leg). Although I have found the solution to this script, and that is that I made the torso in line 6 position itself into my body parts. I want to know why it caused the error above?

FindFirstChild returns the first child found with that name or nil, if torso is not found then it will be nil. User#5423 17 — 7y

But it should find the Torso whenever I step on my part right? qVision 12 — 7y

Only if a part named Torso is found ie r6 not r15. User#5423 17 — 7y

You need to check that it actually found the Torso. With your code, even if it doesn't find the torso, it'll try to set the CFrame. GoldenPhysics 474 — 7y
