This script using :FindFirstChild is giving me an error, I cant figure out why?
This is my script that keeps giving me the error this error 09:30:35.247 - Workspace.protectiverobos.Up.LocalScript:3: attempt to call method 'FindFirstChild' (a nil value)
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local name = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name |
03 | local gethumanoid = game.workspace.name:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
04 |
05 | while true do |
06 | wait() |
07 | if gethumanoid.Health <= game.ServerStorage.PlayerStats.NeededHealth then |
08 | script.Parent.Value = false |
09 | end |
10 | end |

You can get the player's Character from Player.Character and from there you can either use char.Humanoid or char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") which I used below.
EDIT: For your new error, I have created a new local variable to get the ServerStorage service and wait for PlayerStats to load in.
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local char = player.Character -- replaced 'name' variable |
03 | local gethumanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- WaitForChild is used to prevent any errors |
04 | local plrStats = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerStats") -- Created this variable to wait for the PlayerStats to load in to (hopefully) prevent any errors |

06 | while true do |
07 | wait() |
08 | if gethumanoid.Health <= plrStats.NeededHealth then |
09 | script.Parent.Value = false |
10 | end |
11 | end |

You're accessing the humanoid wrong. You're trying to find it within the workspace name, this is incorrect. Try this instead:
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') |

I believe 'character' is capitalized to be 'Character' and why did you include the name variable if you didn't use it? BennyBoiOriginal 293 — 5y

the name variable was in the original. I assumed he wanted it there for a reason. I will change the character thing now. DreamInspired 61 — 5y
