Anyone Know Why this Error is Happening?
1 answer
CharacterAdded
The reason for this is probably that the character hasn't loaded in quiet yet when that line ran, therefore erroring.
To fix this, you can simply insert this line near the top of the script (after line 1 but before line 8)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
This will either get character outright, if it is there, or wait for it to be loaded in.
Additional bits of advice
I would recommend using the player variable you defined at the start, rather than spelling out game.Players.LocalPlayer everytime you want to reference the player
On line 10, you misspelled Humanoid as Humonoid
Hopefully this helped!
