Torso Not Valid Member Of Workspace/Model?

Asked 547 views1 answers

Idk why it won't work, but the title is the error I get on Line 17.

This is a ServerSide Script inside a Tool, and I'm trying to help other people on my game since it deals with stealing a basketball.. and the magnitude should help them so that whenever a person is close, they'll steal the ball.

local tool=script.Parent

tool.Handle.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	local char=hit.Parent
	if char:IsA("Accessory") then wait()
	elseif char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and char:FindFirstChild("Torso") and tool.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
		script.Disabled=true
		if (tool.Parent.Torso.Position-tool.Handle.Position).magnitude>5 and char.Humanoid.PlatformStand==false then -- magnitude
			char.Humanoid.PlatformStand=true
			local s=script.Stand:Clone() s.Parent=char.Humanoid
			s.Disabled=false
		else
			tool.Parent=workspace wait() tool.Parent=char
			wait(1)
		end
	else
		if (tool.Parent.Torso.Position-char.Torso.Position).magnitude<=5.5 then -- magnitude
			tool.Parent=workspace wait() tool.Parent=char
			wait(1)
		end
	end
	wait(1)
	script.Disabled=false
end)

Thanks,

From what I understand is that this tool is the ball. The script is supposed to give the ball to another player if they hit the ball at a distance of fewer than 5 studs. I don't understand the reason for the PlatformStand.

Your error is because the script can't find Torso.

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

print("Loaded")

handle.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent ~= nil then  -- if what you hit still exists
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
	    if player and player.Character then 
			local char = player.Character
			local torso = char:findFirstChild("Torso")
			local hum = char:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if torso and hum and hum.Health > 0 then -- make sure they aren't dead
				local dist = (torso.Position - handle.Position).magnitude
				if dist < 5 then 
					tool.Parent = char
				end
			end	  
		end
	end   
end)
