How do I fix "Attempt to index local 'Weapon' (a nil value)"?
Hello, so I'm currently making a script that prints out 1. Killer Name 2. Killer Weapon
Whenever I go to test it I get an error in my output saying ****Workspace.Script:12: attempt to index local 'Weapon' (a nil value)**** How would I go about fixing this? Here's my full script
Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
if Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") ~= nil then
local Killer = Humanoid.creator.Value
local Weapon = Killer:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") if true then
end
print (Killer.Name)
print (Weapon.Name)
end
end)
end)
end)

When it posts that something is nil, that means there is no value with it... a good example being if it's suppose to show the weapon that killed it, it most likely wasn't able to read the tools name. Just2Terrify 566 — 4y

I'm not too familiar with the creator tag but I believe the issue is that creator.Value is the actual player rather than the player's character. Try adding .Character to the end of line 8 like so:
local Killer = Humanoid.creator.Value.Character

The player's humanoid has a creator value, what type of variable is it?
If it's an object value, then it's referring to the player in game.Player The way to fix it is to add a string value and set it as the killer, so replace it with workspace[creator.Value]
Hoped this helps!
