I can't access my player's Humanoid?
I'm trying to animate a tool in my player's starterpack, but for some reason I keep getting an error message that says "attempt to index field 'Character' (a nil value)" referring to line 3. I've tried several variations where I make the script wait for everything to load, but none of those worked either.
This is the code:
tool = script.Parent
local animation = tool.SwingAnimation
humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) --loads the animation into humanoid
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
track:Play()
wait(1)
end)
tool.Deactivated:Connect(function()
track:Stop()
end)
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

tool = script.Parent
local animation = tool.SwingAnimation
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character ~= nil and workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name) ~= nil
local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
track:Play()
wait(1)
end)
tool.Deactivated:Connect(function()
track:Stop()
end)
You need to wait for the character to load into the workspace before trying to define the humanoid.

wht this is not how you wait for the players character. Use events not loops. -1 User#5423 17 — 5y
