Why is it being indexed as a nil Value???
I am confused, I'm consistently getting an error but the script works correctly.
Just an example of the type of code I'm talking about. Not the entire code just the pertinent lines.
local rt = game.Workspace.redteam
function teamchange(p1,color)
game.Players:FindFirstChild(p1).TeamColor = BrickColor.new(color) --Line 31
end
rt.Touched:connect(function(hit)
print(hit.Parent)
teamchange(hit.Parent.Name,"Really red")
end)
The console always says this:
ServerScriptService.Main Script:31: attempt to index a nil value

You aren't checking if hit has a humanoid.
This is easily fixed with:
local rt = game.Workspace.redteam
function teamchange(p1,color)
game.Players:FindFirstChild(p1).TeamColor = BrickColor.new(color) --Line 31
end
rt.Touched:connect(function(hit)
print(hit.Parent)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
teamchange(hit.Parent.Name,"Really red")
end
end)
A better fix would to check if the humanoid correlates to a player, using GetPlayerFromCharacter, which checks if a character is linked to a player.
local rt = game.Workspace.redteam
function teamchange(p1,color)
game.Players:FindFirstChild(p1).TeamColor = BrickColor.new(color) --Line 31
end
rt.Touched:connect(function(hit)
print(hit.Parent)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
teamchange(hit.Parent.Name,"Really red")
end
end)
