Okay so i have a script that removes all hats from entering and respawning characters, i tried to add this to it and couldnt. so instead i have 2 seperate scripts, this one adds a chef hat to all players. For whatever reason i get this in the output

"Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of Accessory to NULL while trying to set the parent of Accessory. Current parent is DemonsEmperor."

The script ends up running, working, and even prints at the end. BUT, when i reset to test out if it re-runs, it wont. So either it crashes during the first run or ive messed up and its only on player entered.

Help please, this is my script!

local Players = game:GetService("Players") local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") debounce = true

function onPlayerAdded(player)

01    RunService.Stepped:wait()
02    wait(2)
03    local person = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
04    if (person:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and debounce == true) then
05    debounce = false
06    local h = Instance.new("Accessory")
07    h.Parent = person
08    local p = Instance.new("Part")
09    h.Name = "ChefHat"
10    p.Parent = h
11    p.Position = person:findFirstChild("Head").Position
12    p.Name = "Handle"
13    p.formFactor = 0
14    p.Size = Vector3.new(2, 1, 1) 
15    local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
16    weld.Name = "AccessoryWeld"
17    weld.Parent = p
18    weld.Part0 = p
19    weld.Part1 = weld.Parent.Parent.Parent.Head

25    p.Mesh.Offset = Vector3.new(0, 0.75, 0)
26    wait(0.5)
27    debounce = true
28    print("chefs hat given")

You need to use the character added event. This will only run when the player starts playing the game. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/Player/CharacterAdded

When you initially add the CharacterAdded listener, the player's character has already been loaded. You could get around it like this

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
2    function charadded(character)
3        --script
4    end
5    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(charadded)
6    charadded(player.Character)
7end)

or like this

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
2    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
3        --script
4    end)
5    player:LoadCharacter()
6end)
