Why i am getting "attempt to index upvalue 'Char' (a nil value)" Error at the 19th line?
Im trying to create a wood gathering script but i get the error that i mentioned at title. my code is here:
local Plr= game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Plr.Character
local Mouse = Plr:GetMouse()
local GetWood = true
function ShowProgress(tree)
if tree == 'Tree' then
for i = 0,1, .01 do
WG.BG.Bar.Progress.Size = UDim2.new(i,0,1,0)
wait()
end
end
end
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if Mouse.Target ~= nil and Mouse.Target.Parent.Name == 'Tree' and GetWood == true then
local Wood = Mouse.Target
if (Wood.Position - Char.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude <10 then
GetWood = false
WG = Plr.PlayerGui.WoodGathering
WG.BG.Visible = true
Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
for i, v in pairs(Wood.Parent.Leaves:GetChildren())do
if v:IsA('Part') then
v.Anchored = false
end
end
Wood:Destroy()
--Drop Wood
WG.BG.Visible = false
GetWood = true
end
end
end)

This is because scripts will execute faster than ROBLOX can load the assets of the game. You'll have to compensate for this in most future programs you'll end up writing.
It is also suggested that you define the Character within the Button1Down RBXScriptSignal since it'll redefine the Character every time. Why is this important? Well, this is because when the Character resets, it is replaced; therefore the previously declared Character will no longer be referencing the new Character, meaning it'll give poor data, or throw an error entirely... So to solve this issue, we will ask to get the Character every time the event runs to essentially refresh it.
So, to do this we'll need to compensate for the Character (wait for it) as said above. To do so, we can use the :Wait() method of Character's CharacterAdded RBXScriptSignal—this will call when a Character is added (respawned)—to ask the script to yield until the Character is confirmed and allocated:
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Cursor = Player:GetMouse()
Cursor.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
print(Char.Name)
end)
