Why do you have "[Character]" on lines 13 and 14? JarFullOfMayonnaise 48 — 6y

Because the character name is chosen depending on which button they pressed, so the name is never the same. So i used local Character as the model name. Galicate 106 — 6y

The script is erroring because you are trying to get the Character by searching it on the workspace using the actual object, not it's name.
An example of this would be:
local Person = workspace.Person local Character1 = workspace[Person.Name] -- This will work! The argument provided is a string. local Character2 = workspace[Person] -- This will not work! The argument is an object.
What you are doing is redundant, too. You don't need to index it like "workspace[Character.Name]" since you already got the Character object. Using just "Character" will do fine.
Also, unless the second argument "Character" is a character of a different player, you should just have the first argument "Player" and use the Character property of the Player object.
