Hello, I am trying to give myself a sword called "Hot" using a LocalScript in StarterGui. The so called weapon is inside ServerStorage. This is the code:
local hotsword = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Hot")
local clonedHotSword = hotsword:Clone()
clonedHotSword.Parent = player.Backpack
Whenever I test the game, I get the following error:
Players.Xrp200.PlayerGui.LocalScript:190: attempt to index local 'hotsword' (a nil value)
^I have no idea what the error means^
I have tried this with WaitForChild() but then it would give me a warning:
Infinite yield possible on 'ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Hot")'
And ends up never giving me the sword.
I'm a beginner at scripting and I can't seem to fix this issue properly, please help.. thanks.

Put the Model inside of the "ReplicatedStorage" and get it from there.
it has nothing to do with that he just diddnt make a variable for player
and u might wanna use a if statement
I have tried putting it in ReplicatedStorage, I got the weapon but the sword falls apart whenever I equip it. I have made the variable for player, it's just that I didn't put everything so that it's easier to read guess?
Or is that actually a whole different error/my fault?
Taco, When i'm in roblox studio and i put stuff inside of the serverstorage and then if i test play it removes from the ServerStorage.
Same! Everything inside ServerStorage dissepears!
Yea, That's why it says "Nil", Because it won't find the model in the ServerStorage.
