GetPlayerFromCharacter is not a valid member of Player,what does that mean?

Asked Jun 23, 20141,184 views2 answers

I'm using just using a normal script not a Local Script and I got a error:

GetPlayerFromCharacter is not a valid member of Player

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
	Character = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	print(Character.Name)
	for Number,LocalScripts in pairs (script:GetChildren()) do
		LocalScripts:Clone().Parent = Character
		LocalScripts.Disabled = false
		print(Player.Name,"now has",LocalScripts)
	end

end)

✓ Accepted answer

You have it backwards. The PlayerAdded event returns the Player, not the Character. In your case, you would say: Character = Player.Character

The GetPlayerFromCharacter method returns get the Character's (game.Workspace) Player (game.Players).

Thanks,but now that for some reason the LocalScript won't get cloned in the character.

Might not be the problem, but whats character? Character = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) You explained what Character with a Capital C is, whats character with a lowercase C, looks like it would be:

game.Workspace.Player

Oh, and btw, it looks like you need local variables.
