attempt to index upvalue 'Character' fails?
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local PunchCooldown = 0.5
local PunchReady = true
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if PunchReady then
Character.Punchleft:Play()
end
end)
I know the location of the player's character. I am using a custom character with all the proper r15 joints in place. i cant put my finger down as to why it's not working.
i don't really know what else of other information to put here. if you need some data from my game to try and fix this, i could edit this post.

The character hasn't loaded yet, one of the following codes provided would work.
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local PunchCooldown = 0.5
local PunchReady = true
while not Character do
wait()
Character = Player.Character
end
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if PunchReady then
Character.Punchleft:Play()
end
end)
OR this
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player:WaitForChild("Character")
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local PunchCooldown = 0.5
local PunchReady = true
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if PunchReady then
Character.Punchleft:Play()
end
end)

Thanks! this really helped. i'll try to use :WatForChild() more often. gartfart36 5 — 4y
