You're using a localscript, right? MrBlockyhead 84 — 6y

It needs to be in a LocalScript in game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts or game.StarterPack SebbyTheGODKid 198 — 6y

You need to use a LocalScript. Regular scripts run on the server, and therefore don't have any LocalPlayer. Depending on what the script is used for, there are multiple suggestions on where to place your LocalScript.
Local Scripts can run in:
- Replicated First
- Inside players' characters
- Anywhere inside the Player
-- local script in Replicated First (as an example) local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- ^^ this will wait for the character to load.

Adding on to what he said, when running a Test Server in Studio, the server and the client are conjoined. Because of this, the server *has* a LocalPlayer (which is always Player1.) This is why it's better to load a Local Server rather than one directly in Studio. ee0w 458 — 6y
