So I have a script:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
print("1")
local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Helmet:Clone()
print("2")
clone.Parent = plr.Character
print("3")
print(plr.Name)
print(plr.Character.Name)
end)
It prints 1,2 and 3. It prints my username for plr.Name, but for plr,Character, it says: "Workspace.Script:8: attempt to index field 'Character' (a nil value)"
###This is because when a player joins, the character doesn't load in instantly. You'll need to wait for the character, by using a CharacterAdded event.
local helmet = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Helmet")
-- place in server storage if you don't want exploiters freely giving themselves the helmet
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
print(1)
local clone helmet:Clone()
print(2)
clone.Parent = char
print(3)
end)
print(plr.Name)
end)
###On a side note, switch to :Connect(), as :connect() is deprecated and should not be used in new work. Learn more here.
