So im very new to scripting and for practice im working on a my hero academia game and atm im trying to make a basic combat script and even so im just trying to make it play the animations then add on to it i keep getting an error
07:25:41.181 - Players.viaticeal664.Backpack.Melee.LocalScript:3: attempt to index field 'Character' (a nil value)
Here is the script atm https://pastebin.com/nSN8K4Eg ill take any type of criticism you have because im trying to get better
That's happening beacuse you're using a local script, thus you need to wait in order for the player's character to load, to do that
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
CharacterAdded is just an event that checks if a character was added, and :Wait() which you might've never seen is basically the same as :Connect(), but it's only available for certain events, mainly events that have to do with waiting for something to happen such as this character event. :Wait() will stop the script for a second (in other words yield the script) until the character is loaded, and once it's loaded it will return the character and the script will continute working
