How do i fix "attempt to index upvalue 'char' (a nil value)"? [closed]
Here's the script (btw its in a tool as a local script) what it's meant to do is when you press q and you have a certain amount of a stat then it will trigger a punch animation
math.randomseed(tick())
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
local RS = game.ReplicatedStorage
local StatsFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("StatsFolder")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local punchEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)
punchEvent.Name = "PunchEvent"
local animations = {1083459730, 1083486387} --Must be changed because the animations made by me won't work for other people than me. Make your own and insert the id's here, separated by commas.
local function onPunchFired(player)
if RS.StatsFolder:FindFirstChild(char.Name).Fat.Value > 10 or RS.StatsFolder:FindFirstChild(char.Name).Muscle.Value > 10 then
local humanoid = char.Humanoid
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
local picked = math.random(1, #animations)
animation.AnimationId = "http://roblox.com/asset/?id="..animations[picked]
local animTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
animTrack:Play()
local dmgScript = script.DmgScript:Clone()
if picked == 1 then
dmgScript.Parent = char.RightHand
elseif picked == 2 then
dmgScript.Parent = char.LeftHand
end
dmgScript.Disabled = false
wait(0.4)
dmgScript:Destroy()
end
end
punchEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onPunchFired)

Your error is coming about because the player's character hasn't loaded yet. One simple solution is to continue to wait until the player has a character:
local char = player.Character
while not char do
wait()
char = player.Character
end
Other notes:
- You should discard the first
math.random()after initializing the randomseed - You assign ReplicatedStorage to 2 different local variables (you only need one)

local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() CootKitty 311 — 6y
