"attempt to index local 'LocalP' (a nil value)" how do i fix this?

Asked 417 views1 answers
local sp = script.Parent
local db = true
local LocalP = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Player = LocalP.Character
local Azarth = script.Parent.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash
local Azarth2 = script.Parent.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash2
local Azarth3 = script.Parent.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash3
local Azarth4 = script.Parent.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash4
local Bot = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Suit
local Flash = Bot.Arm1.Middle:WaitForChild("FinalArmCharge")
local Flash2 = Bot.Chest.Middle:WaitForChild("FinalCharge")

sp.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and db then 
		db = false
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player.PlayerGui:findFirstChild("Option") then 
			Azarth:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Option"):WaitForChild("Frame")
			Azarth2:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Option"):WaitForChild("Frame")
			Azarth3:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Option"):WaitForChild("Frame")
			Azarth4:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Option"):WaitForChild("Frame")
		Flash:Clone().Parent = Player.Arm1.Middle
		Flash:Clone().Parent = Player.Arm2.Middle
		Flash2:Clone().Parent = Player.Chest.Middle
		end
		wait()
		db = true
	end
end)

this is the whole script but then it tells me "attempt to index local 'LocalP' (a nil value)". any way to counter this?

Is this a local script or a script?

regular script

it's a script, localplayer is not in scripts because it runs on the server so it doesn't know which player is you, but localscript is on the client.

You realise this code is not meant to do anything this is all just variables

chest is the name of another thing welded to the character & is inside the character model

change "LocalPlayer" to "SirTottenhamcake"  OR put the script in "StarterPlayer" > "StarterPlayerScripts" and change "game.Players.LocalPlayer" into "script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent" (works or not works based on your Parenting System)

script is meant to work by touching a part which clones a gui into the frame

Hello,

You seem new to Rbx.Lua.

Things you can learn :

1.LocalPlayer can only be used in a LocalScript.

2.You can use PlayerAdded event to get the joining players.

3.***connect***is deprecated , it is better to use Connect

--//This Script must be inside of a part//-- 

local db = true
local part = script.Parent
local gui = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild('Gui')--<< Place the gui you want on that path... script.Parent.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash
local Azarth = gui.Opition.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash
local Azarth2 = gui.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash2
local Azarth3 = gui.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash3
local Azarth4 = gui.Option.Frame.ImageButtonFinalFlash4
local Bot = gui.Parent.Parent.Suit
local Flash = Bot.Arm1.Middle:WaitForChild("FinalArmCharge")
local Flash2 = Bot.Chest.Middle:WaitForChild("FinalCharge")

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and db then -- You cannot hit 'nil'
		db = false
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Option") then
			local g1 = gui:Clone()
			g1.Parent = player.PlayerGui
			Azarth:Clone().Parent = g1.Option.Frame
			Azarth2:Clone().Parent =  g1.Option.Frame
		    Azarth3:Clone().Parent =  g1.Option.Frame
            Azarth4:Clone().Parent =  g1.Option.Frame
        	--[[Flash:Clone().Parent = 
        	Flash:Clone().Parent = player.Arm2.Middle
        	Flash2:Clone().Parent = player.Chest.Middle
			]]--			
		end
	end
	wait()
	db = true
end)

That's all for the script. You need to adjust certain paths and such.

Thank you for reading!
