GetPlayerFromCharacter doesn't work?
This is my script:
Why doesnt it give points?
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
char = hit.Parent
player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("BlueFlag")then
char.BlueFlag.Parent = game.Workspace
player.leaderstats.Points.Value = player.leaderstats.Points.Value + 100
game.Workspace.BlueFlag.RemoveWeld:Invoke()
game.Workspace.BlueFlag.Position = Vector3.new(69.5, 0.5, 40)
game.Workspace.BlueFlag.Anchored = true
end
end)
ERROR: attempt to index global 'player' (a nil value)
Why?

The reason this is happening is because GetPlayerFromCharacter returned nil, because char was actually the Workspace, or some other Model that touched the part. In order to fix this, you will have an if statement that checks if the player exists.
local blueFlag = workspace.BlueFlag -- don't repeat yourself! Have a variable for blueflag
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local model = hit.Parent -- use local variables! usage of global variables is bad practice
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
if model:FindFirstChild("BlueFlag") and player then -- if there is a player
char.BlueFlag.Parent = game.Workspace
player.leaderstats.Points.Value = player.leaderstats.Points.Value + 100
blueFlag.RemoveWeld:Invoke()
blueFlag.Position = Vector3.new(69.5, 0.5, 40)
blueFlag.Anchored = true
end
end)
