This does not work in game but in studio it works perfectly.. Idk what's wrong I've tried many solutions but idk...

BTW, ITS A LOCALSCRIPT.

PROBLEM: When I check in game logs I see something about the data model (client log)

"attempt to index local "char"

PLZ HELP!

01Players = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02mouse = Players:GetMouse()
03local char = Players.Character
04local torso = char:findFirstChild("Torso")
05local leftarm = char:findFirstChild("Left Arm")
06 
07enabled = true
08 
09function onKeyDown(key)
10    key = key:lower()
11    if key == 'q' then
12        local part = char["Left Arm"]:Clone()
13        part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
14        part.Material = "Neon"
15        part.Name = "LeftArm2"
16        part.CFrame = leftarm.CFrame
17        part.Anchored = true
18        part.CanCollide = false
19        wait()
20        part.Parent = char
21        for i = 1, 10 do
22            part.Size = part.Size +Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
23            part.Transparency = part.Transparency + 0.1
24            part.CFrame = leftarm.CFrame
25            wait()
26        end
27        part:destroy()
28        torso.Anchored = true
29        leftarm.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really black')
30        leftarm.Material = 'Neon'
31        leftarm.Reflectance = 0.1
32        torso.Anchored = false
33    end
34end

Localscripts on the client can load prior to the actual character model loading, making line 4 error because 'char' is nil.. Try using a repeat loop to wait until the Character has loaded.

1local Players = game.Players.LocalPlayer
2local mouse = Players:GetMouse()
3 
4repeat wait() until Players.Character --Wait until char has loaded
5 
6local char = Players.Character
7local torso = char:findFirstChild("Torso")
8local leftarm = char:findFirstChild("Left Arm")

Thank u so much i appreciate the help! xVanc -1 — 8y

Why use lower-cased "f" on "findFirstChild"? I though that was deprecated.. FiredDusk 1466 — 8y

Just used it cause he used it. But yeah, it's deprecated. Goulstem 8144 — 8y
