I made this script so you can attack with this weird arm on your torso (Don't ask why)... The error it give me "Players.kittonlover101.Backpack.Pick2.LocalScript:5: attempt to index local 'character' (a nil value)". The error is on line 5. Any help would be appreciated. Also the 3rd Arm is a model with its own humanoid.
local CanAttack = true local player = script.Parent.Parent local playername = player.Name local character = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(playername) local arm = character:WaitForChild("3rd Arm") script.Parent.Activated:connect(function() wait(0.1) local attack = arm.Humanoid:LoadAnimation (script.Attack) attack:Play() wait(1) attack:Stop() end)
You can use the Character
property of Player
to get their character. No need to search workspace for it.
local CanAttack = true local plr = game:GetService("RunService"):IsClient() and game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer or script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player") -- you didnt specify if its a localscript or not /shrug local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- wait for character if it isnt created local arm = char:WaitForChild("3rd Arm") script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() wait(0.1) local attack = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Attack) attack:Play() wait(1) attack:Stop() end)
(Sorry for any typos, I'm on phone and I rewrote your script instead of copy pasting it)
