Do you connect that function to the actual event?

You need to make sure that it checks if its a part or not. Also make sure that the character isnt nil.

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	if character then
	    for i, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA('BasePart') then
				v.CollisionGroupId = 3 
			end
	    end
	end
end
