What does this mean and how can I fix this? It's a localscript and here's the code:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Torso = Character.Torso --Error seems to be here
Thanks for helping me out!

Error: attempt to index local 'Character' (a nil value)?

You must wait for the character to spawn before you can do anything to it.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Torso = Character:WaitForChild("Torso") --if R15 use UpperTorso, LowerTorso or HumanoidRootPart instead

it means that the player currently has no character. you just need to wait until they have spawned.
Add this after local player part. repeat wait until Player:FindFirstChild("Character")
@iRexBot, Character isn't a child of Player, it's a Property: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Player/Character
