part = script.Parent

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Name == "NodeOrb" and script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.TeamCol.Value == "Tred" then
        hit.CaptureStatus.Value = hit.CaptureStatus.Value + 1
    end
    if hit.Name == "NodeOrb" and script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.TeamCol.Value == "Tblue" then
        hit.CaptureStatus.Value = hit.CaptureStatus.Value - 1
    end
end)

the script is in a part which is inside a tool, and Im trying to access a stringvalue inside the tool owners character but Im having trouble getting to it, I thought what I had would work but I keep getting an error were the script is trying to get to the stringvalue.

is there something Im doing wrong?

For first, on equip the tool. the tool go to Player character. and you dont need to use `.Character`

Here is a example:

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equiped:Connect(function()
    print("Player name: " .. script.Parent.Parent.Name)
    --[[ 
     script = Script
      script.Parent = tool
       script.Parent.Parent = character.
    ]]
end)

Here is fixed script:

local tool = script.Parent.Parent -- Added variable for tool
local part = script.Parent -- Use local Variable = ... not Variable = ...

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if tool.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- Check if is in char.
        if hit.Name == "NodeOrb" and tool.Parent.TeamCol.Value == "Tred" then
            hit.CaptureStatus.Value = hit.CaptureStatus.Value + 1
        end
        if hit.Name == "NodeOrb" and tool.Parent.TeamCol.Value == "Tblue" then
            hit.CaptureStatus.Value = hit.CaptureStatus.Value - 1
        end
    end
end)

Hope it helped :D
