attempt to index local 'target' (a nil value)?
01 | handle.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
02 | if not pause2 then |
03 | pause2 = true |
04 | if Mouse.Button1Down then |
05 | if humanoid and hit and not hit:isDescendantOf(person) and Mouse.Button1Down then |
06 | local target = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
07 | print("Target variable added.") |
08 | target:TakeDamage(damage) |
09 | print("Target took damage!") |
10 | wait(0.7) |
11 | pause2 = false |
12 | print("Hit Function Finished!") |
13 | else |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
I can't really figure out why this is happening. The error happens on the line that says "target:TakeDamage(damage)". Any help?

You should rather use hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model").Humanoid because if for example an accessory's part fired the event, you would be looking for the Humanoid under an accessory. Amiaa16 3227 — 6y

Whenever I do that, an error fires on line 06 saying "attempt to index a nil value" Starflyerz 44 — 6y

try using WaitForChild() instead of FindFirstChild

I tried using WaitForChild, but it didn't find the humanoid, even though the part's parent I was touching, had a humanoid in it. Starflyerz 44 — 6y
