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)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local name = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
local gethumanoid = game.workspace.name:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
while true do
wait()
if gethumanoid.Health <= game.ServerStorage.PlayerStats.NeededHealth then
script.Parent.Value = false
end
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.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character -- replaced 'name' variable
local gethumanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- WaitForChild is used to prevent any errors
local plrStats = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerStats") -- Created this variable to wait for the PlayerStats to load in to (hopefully) prevent any errors
while true do
wait()
if gethumanoid.Health <= plrStats.NeededHealth then
script.Parent.Value = false
end
end
You're accessing the humanoid wrong. You're trying to find it within the workspace name, this is incorrect. Try this instead:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
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?
the name variable was in the original. I assumed he wanted it there for a reason. I will change the character thing now.

Now it says this
15:02:26.270 - PlayerStats is not a valid member of ServerStorage
My answer has been edited.
Now it gives me no errors, but doesn't work.
