LocalPlayer.Character, a nil value. Why?
I made a button that's supposed to lead your character of a cliff, but it didn't work. This is the code I used.
1 | plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | char = plr.Character |
3 | click = game.Workspace.DieButton.Button.ClickDetector |
4 | click.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
5 | char.Humanoid:MoveTo(game.Workspace.Die.Position) |
6 | end) |
and it came out with an error: Players.marioman1932.PlayerScripts.Die:5: attempt to index global 'char' (a nil value) but it's not a nil value because I made a variable for it. Please help of why it says that. Edit: Yes this is in a local script.

I think whats happening here is either:
A) The character hasnt been loaded in;
B) You might not be running this in a local script
1 | --local script |
2 | plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
4 |
5 | click = game.Workspace.DieButton.Button.ClickDetector |
6 | click.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
7 | char.Humanoid:MoveTo(game.Workspace.Die.Position) |
8 | end) |
The reason this works is because or turns this into a conditional statement.
If Player.Character comes back as nil, it goes to the next condition, which is the CharacterAdded event. It then halts the script from continuing until theres a character loaded in.
Hopefully that helps.
