Attempt to Index nil with 'Character' error, how do I fix this?

Asked 307 views1 answers
replicatedstorage.Remotes.Rank.OnServerInvoke = function()
	local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character --This is the line with the error
	if not remoteData:FindFirstChild(character) then return "NoFolder" end
	
	local rank = player.leaderstats.Rank

I'm getting index nil and I do not know how to fix this. Any help?

This is a LocalScript right?

Okay, well you can't get a localplayer from a Script, but you can call the player from the parameters inside of the OnServerInvoke event.

Should look like this

replicatedstorage.Remotes.Rank.OnServerInvoke = function(player)

so then you can get the Character with local Character = player.Character
