Problem with character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello fellow developers, I’m having this problem with a script it’s where you learn new skills and jukes basically, for myself and it keeps saying “Workspace.Monster.Script:13: attempt to index nil with ‘Character’”, I don’t know what that means, obviously it can’t tell what a character is, but I don’t understand how I would make it understand it is.

What I want it to do: to chase the player

What it’s inside of: Character model

Here is the script,


local object = script.Parent
local human = object:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local torso = object:WaitForChild("Torso")

local PathFindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

local path = PathFindingService:CreatePath()

local player = players.LocalPlayer

local HRP = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart

local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")

runservice.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	path:ComputeAsync(torso.Position, HRP.Position)
	local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

	for i, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do

		if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			human:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
		end
		human:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
		human.MoveToFinished:Wait(2)
	end
end)

Thanks!

LocalPlayer is only available on the client, in local scripts. If this is a server script youre going to have to get the player through some other means.

#3

This will only find the player in local scripts, you will need to get the player via game:GetService("Players")

#4

I did, at the top of script I put it in there

#5

Is there any way I could put it in to a server script and it work?

#6

You will have to get all of the players in the game currently, and pick one of them. You cant use local player in a server script.
