Why does it say the parent property of bodyposition is locked?
local ignore = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
--beam = Ray.new(char.Torso.Position,(mouse.Hit.p*30))
hold = false -- we want to make sure we can ungrapple
body = game.Workspace.Forces.BodyPosition -- we need a force
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
hold = true
while hold do
local beam = Ray.new(char.Torso.Position,(mouse.Hit.p*5))
body:Clone()
body.Parent = char.Torso
wait()
end
end
end
function onKeyRelease(inputObject,gameProcessed)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
hold = false
body:Destroy()
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(onKeyRelease)
why wont it boost me when i press Q again... i made sure its cloning..

To answer your title, this error usually occurs when you try finding the Parent Property of an object which has been destroyed using the method :Destroy() randomsmileyface 375 — 6y

@randomsmileyface: "when you try finding the Parent Property" should say "when you try *setting* the Parent Property" chess123mate 5873 — 6y

Hey Aeike!
So, your issue is that when you're deleting the object that you want to copy, as well as parenting it, and you never actually use the copy itself!
local ignore = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
--local beam = Ray.new(char.Torso.Position,(mouse.Hit.p*30))
local hold = false -- we want to make sure we can ungrapple
local body = game.Workspace.Forces.BodyPosition -- we need a force
local body_clone = nil -- Set up a variable for your body clone that is accessible
local function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
hold = true
while hold do
local beam = Ray.new(char.Torso.Position,(mouse.Hit.p*5))
body_clone = body:Clone() -- Set your clone to something.
body_clone.Parent = char.Torso
wait()
end
end
end
local function onKeyRelease(inputObject,gameProcessed)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
hold = false
if(body_clone) then -- Make sure that the clone is instantiated
body_clone:Destroy()
body_clone = nil
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(onKeyRelease)
Keep in mind that this method will only allow you to create one beam at a time, since they all get destroyed immediately when your release Q.
Hope this helps! =)
