Why is the healthbar broken in actual game?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local human = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
human.Changed:connect(function(prop)
if prop == "Health" or prop == "MaxHealth" then
script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(human.Health/human.MaxHealth,0,0,25),"Out","Quad",0.3,true)
end
end)
So I have a custom health bar, and it works fine in test in studio, but when i go to team test or local server it gives me this error:
01:29:51.034 - Players.Activatted.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.HealthBackground.HealthBox.LocalScript:3: attempt to index field 'Character' (a nil value) I tried adding a wait, but it broke the script completely

You are calling the character before it is even loaded.
A simple fix would be:
player_here.CharacterAdded:wait()
More information about this: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Player/CharacterAdded
So to fix your script:
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local human = plr.CharacterAdded:wait():WaitForChild("Humanoid")
human.Changed:connect(function(prop)
if prop == "Health" or prop == "MaxHealth" then
script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(human.Health/human.MaxHealth,0,0,25),"Out","Quad",0.3,true)
end
end)
You're calling the character when it hasn't loaded yet. Here's what I do to make sure it's loaded:
local human = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
Try adding this varible:
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
then change this line:
plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
To:
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
You can wait until everything is loaded, by doing this before the rest of your script.
repeat wait() until game:GetService('ContentProvider').RequestQueueSize == 0
What it basically does, it waits until the request queue size is 0, because when a game starts, it has to load everything.
