Trying to access the health of the player, isn't working?
I'm making a script that assigns a NumberValue to the player that is equivalent to their health, however, it either says that the character is a nil value, or the humanoid/character is not a valid member of player. Any help?
function onPlayerAdded(player)
local ValueFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
ValueFolder.Parent = player
ValueFolder.Name = "ValueFolder"
local PlayerHealth = Instance.new("NumberValue")
PlayerHealth.Parent = player.ValueFolder
PlayerHealth.Name = "PlayerHealth"
PlayerHealth.Value = player.Character.Humanoid.Health
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded)

Try waiting for the character to be added to the workspace, not when the player is added to the game.
.CharacterAdded:Connect(character)
and then use character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") to wait for the humanoid
If this doesn't make sense, just ask.

Try this:
function onPlayerAdded(player)
local ValueFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
ValueFolder.Parent = player
ValueFolder.Name = "ValueFolder"
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local PlayerHealth = Instance.new("NumberValue")
PlayerHealth.Parent = player.ValueFolder
PlayerHealth.Name = "PlayerHealth"
PlayerHealth.Value = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health
end)
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded)
Hope this helped!
