My hologram script isnt working? Error says nil value.

The code is inside a local script.

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local interval = 60
local inuse = false

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    key = string.lower(key)
    if string.byte(key) == 113 and inuse == false then
        inuse = true
        print(Player.Name)
        script.Parent.Parent.Character:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
        wait(interval)
        inuse = false
    end
end)

I get the error at script.Parent.Parent.Character:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace

By default characters in Roblox have the property Archivable = false. Simply set it to true and that should fix your error.

Stop using KeyDown to get user input for less errors. use UserInputService. For how long have you used ROBLOX studio and how long without using it? like 2 years? and please use the GetService method to get services, as indexing with (.) to get a service (game.Service) is NO guarantee.


local service = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)
local plr = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer
local interval = 60
local inUse = false

service.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and inUse == false then
        inUse = true
        print(plr.Name)
        local clone = plr.Character:Clone()
        clone.Parent = game:GetService(“Workspace”)
        wait(interval)
        inUse = false
    end
end)
