How come my Water for my attack isn't showing up in the right place?

Asked by

I was finishing up my local script, and I'd thought all of the bugs were squashed, accept that the Water - or wavelike block - wasn't showing up by my hand moving forward, rather in the workspace, in a spot right by the spawn. I've been at this for about thirty minutes, but on the last attempt, I got -

Players.fighterkirbyzx.Backpack.WaterShot.LocalScript:13: attempt to index a nil value

Here's the code-


local Water = game.ReplicatedStorage.Water
local Shooter = script.Parent
local Waterclone = Water:Clone()
local Canshoot = true
local person = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = person:GetMouse()

local function onclick()

    Canshoot = false

    Waterclone.Parent = game.Workspace
    Waterclone.CFrame = CFrame.new(person:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("RightHand").Position)
    Waterclone.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)  

    wait(.8)
    Waterclone:Destroy()

    Canshoot = true
end

    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(onclick)

Anyone know why?

FindFirstChildWhichIsA returns the first object that is of or inherits a given class, or nil if no object of said class exists. RightHand is not a class, but BasePart for example is. Change it to FindFirstChild User#24403 69 — 5y

It doesn’t do damage because its local script. Add RemoteEvent OnaKat 444 — 5y

Easy

In your script person is player not character. Just change it to person.Character

and use FindFirstChild()

local Water = game.ReplicatedStorage.Water
local Shooter = script.Parent
local Waterclone = Water:Clone()
local Canshoot = true
local person = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = person:GetMouse()

local function onclick()

    Canshoot = false

    Waterclone.Parent = game.Workspace
    Waterclone.CFrame = CFrame.new(person.Character:FindFirstChild("RightHand").Position)
    Waterclone.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)  

    wait(.8)
    Waterclone:Destroy()

    Canshoot = true
end

    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(onclick)

This is why you need to check your script.

Oh, so the player is like the actual person, while the charactor does the things like click? fighterkirbyzx 102 — 5y

Character is player's body in workspace. Character can be add / destroy. Player will be remove if the player left the game. Player has a mouse and mouse can click. OnaKat 444 — 5y

I forgot to put check if character ~= nil so put it in the first line in function. OnaKat 444 — 5y

So, now it says that CFrame is not a valid member of model, what does that mean? fighterkirbyzx 102 — 5y

Your water is a model? OnaKat 444 — 5y

Yeah, does that mean I can't use CFame on it? fighterkirbyzx 102 — 5y

If yes then use Waterclone:MoveTo(person.Character:FindFirstChild("RightHand").Position) OnaKat 444 — 5y

Oh, so use MoveTo instead of CFrame for models? fighterkirbyzx 102 — 5y

MoveTo is for teleport model but this change position not CFrame. CFrame will change position and rotation. OnaKat 444 — 5y

Im so sorry for asking so many questions, but now the actual water - which does do damage - isn't doing damage to anyone when it's made by the script fighterkirbyzx 102 — 5y
