Why is this simple gun giving script not working and instead giving me an error?
I have a script and I want it to give the player a gun if they don't have one already. However when ever I run the script I get an error saying attempt to index local 'p' (a nil value). Here is my code.
while true do
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if p.Backpack.AK-47 ~= nil then
local tool = game.ServerStorage.AK_47:Clone()
tool.Parent = p.Backpack
end
wait(1)
end
I would really love some help

If this is a Script, this won't work. Loop through all the players instead. I do not advise you do this with a LocalScript.
Fixed script:
while true do
for _,p in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if not p.Backpack:FindFirstChild("AK_47") then
local tool = game.ServerStorage.AK_47:Clone()
tool.Parent = p.Backpack
end
wait(1)
end
end
Another big error you have made is that the old script is actually giving the player the gun if they have it already. You also shouldn't use object == nil, you should do the following:
if not parent:FindFirstChild('objectname') then
--Code here
end
