"Argument 1 missing or nil" in first line of a function

Hello. I’ve having some issues with this function. For some reason, the first line of it is erroring, and I can’t figure out why.

function SoundService:ActivateSound(Phase)
--Below Line Errors
local SoundSearch = LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild(Phase) --Error here
if SoundSearch and SoundSearch:IsA("Sound") and SoundSearch.SoundId ~= "rbxassetid://0" then
	if SoundSearch.IsLoaded then
	SoundSearch:Stop() --Reset
	SoundSearch:Play()
	else
	Tool.ErrorLogger:FireClient(LocalPlayer,"[Green's Weapon System]: Non-Fatal Error - Code x0004-2")					
	end
else
Tool.ErrorLogger:FireClient(LocalPlayer,"[Green's Weapon System]: Non-Fatal Error - Code x0004-1")
end
end

This is being run in a serverside script. The “local player” is defined here:

	script.Parent.GunEquip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,EquipType)
			GunEquipted = EquipType
			LocalPlayer = player
			AnimationService.PreloadAnimation(Tool.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"))
			SoundService:GenerateRemotePresets()
			if EquipType then
				SoundService:LoopSound("Idle")
				AnimationService:LaunchAnimationByMethod("EquipGun",EquipType)
			else
				SoundService:BreakLoop("Idle")
				AnimationService:Stop()
			end		
		end)

  14:47:52.943  Argument 1 missing or nil  -  Server - CoreHandler:162

I really don’t see what the issue is, and have been stuck on this for ~15 minutes. Anyone know a fix?

What is the Phase variable defined as in your parameter?

#3

It’s defined as “Fire” (A String Value)

#4

Try and check if the Value you’re looking for is the “Fire” string

function SoundService:ActivateSound(Phase)
    print(Phase)
--Below Line Errors
if LocalPlayer.Character.Head:FindFirstChild(Phase) then
    local SoundSearch = LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild(Phase) --Error here
    if SoundSearch and SoundSearch:IsA("Sound") and SoundSearch.SoundId ~= "rbxassetid://0" then
	    if SoundSearch.IsLoaded then
            SoundSearch:Stop()
            SoundSearch:Play()
        else
	        Tool.ErrorLogger:FireClient(LocalPlayer,"[Green's Weapon System]: Non-Fatal Error - Code x0004-2")					
	    end
    else
        Tool.ErrorLogger:FireClient(LocalPlayer,"[Green's Weapon System]: Non-Fatal Error - Code x0004-1")
    end
end
end

@JackscarIitt And I just restarted studio, and magically the code is working flawlessly now. No idea why it wasen’t before, I didn’t change anything. Sorry to have been of bother
