There seems to be an issue upon accessing character from the PlayerRemoving event. The weird thing is that I can get to character from a ClickDetector.MouseClick call. Any idea as to why this is acting like this?
Here's my code:
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Backpack)
for i,v in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
if v.ClassName == "Tool" and v:FindFirstChild("RoomNumber") ~= nil then
v.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
for i1,v1 in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if v1.ClassName == "Tool" and v1:FindFirstChild("RoomNumber") ~= nil then
for i2,v2 in pairs(script.Parent.RoomScreen.Rooms:GetChildren()) do
if v2.Name == v1.RoomNumber.Value then
v2.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
return
end
end
end
end
end)
As you can see, this is a hotel room script and I want this to work because when a player leaves without checking out, I want to make the room available again. Any ideas as to why accessing character doesn't work?
Thanks for your help!

Welp, that should work, what's wrong? any errors or just nothing happening?
There is an error. I go into test mode, get myself a room (the rest of the code works) and it says the room is booked (color is red). When I leave, I made it print a message so I know it is working, but I get this error: Workspace.CheckInSystem.CheckIn.StaffCheckIn.CheckIn.Screen.MainScreen.Script:84: attempt to index field 'Character' (a nil value)
Have you referenced the character as "Player.Character or Play.CharacterAdded:Wait()" ?
Player.Character. Should I do CharacterRemoving too?
yah, maybe as Psudar said the character doesnt exist yet, but that wouldnt make sense actually since i assume the character must've loaded since you checked the room and started playing
try CharacterRemoving yeah
Throws no error and does nothing.
