'c' (a nil value) (Character) (?)
Localscript in tool
local tool = script.Parent
local plr = tool.Parent.Parent
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local Crystals = game.Workspace.Crystals
local c = plr.Character --here
local hum = c.Humanoid --here
local storage = game.ReplicatedStorage.CrystalStorage
local RegenTime = math.random(5,10)
local period = math.random(4,15)
game.Workspace.Area.Touched:connect(function(plr)
local function onActivate()
if mouse.Target.Name == "Crystal" then
mouse.Target.Owner.Value = c
local a = hum:LoadAnimation(tool.Handle.Animation)
a:Play()
wait(period)
a:Stop()
for i,a in pairs(game.Workspace.Crystals:GetChildren()) do
if a:IsA("UnionOperation") then
if a.Owner.Value == c then
a.Parent = storage
wait(RegenTime)
a.Parent = Crystals
a.Owner.Value = nil
end
end
end
end
end
tool.Activated:connect(onActivate)
end)

My best guess as to why variable c is returning a nil value is because of certain quirks with accessing the character from the LocalScript. You can read more about that here. It looks like when this script is run the character is not created yet (or that's my best guess).
What I would suggest is not referencing the character and the player by script.Parent references. This makes it harder to understand. We can also steal advice from the article and rewrite your top portion to read.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local Crystals = game.Workspace.Crystals
local c = player.Character
if not c or not c.Parent then -- If c is a model that no longer has a parent ...
c = plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
That might be the answer you are looking for.

Just do: local c = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait() KingLoneCat 2642 — 6y
