While I was testing my code, I encountered a problem when testing it on a local server. The code below is placed in a local script inside the PlayerGUI
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
char.Torso.Touched:connect(function(hit)
print("Rome")
end
When the function is activated on a local server, It will not print Rome but instead return "Torso is not a valid member of Model". I find this problem extremely odd. All help is appreciated.
It is most likely because you are assuming the character is already loaded, try this solution.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
char:FindFirstChild('Torso').Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print("Rome")
end
###This is likely because you expected the character to be loaded in immediately. This is not always the case. You should wait for the character using CharacterAdded.
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
char.Torso.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- :connect is deprecated, switch to :Connect
print("Rome")
end

It's :Wait not :wait. :Connect not :connect. Don't give deprecated code.
