Rename it with another name and use :FindFirstChild()

If it’s showing that then I believe it’s a client to server issue, so we need more information if the workspace is showing it from client view or server view.

Example:

#5

the workspace was showing the client view. The server view doesn’t have the attachment.

server view:

how do I make it so that the server DOES see it?

#6

That removed the error but the attachment still doesn’t work.

#7

Please help me with this!!! This is so annoying!

#8

post the code in a code block and I will setup so if there isn’t attachment it will still work
also you are just trying to add a beam into the character? nm i see your trying to simulate a laser shot to the player

alr

script.Parent.Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mousePos)
	
	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	--raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = (player.Character)
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
	
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Muzzle.Position,(mousePos - script.Parent.Muzzle.Position)*300,raycastParams)
	
	if raycastResult then
		local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
		local model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
		
		if model then
			if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				script.Parent["laser gun sound"]:Play()
				script.Parent.Beam1.Attachment1 = model.Torso:FindFirstChild("BeamAttach")
				script.Parent.Beam2.Attachment1 = model.Torso:FindFirstChild("BeamAttach")
				model.Humanoid.Health -= 100
				wait(.2)
				script.Parent.Beam1.Attachment1 = nil
				script.Parent.Beam2.Attachment1 = nil
			end
		end
	end

ok maybe try this it will try to find the attachement if it can’t it will create a new one and setup with the right name both beams in your code use same attach so thats how i left it – you can remove comments just added to try to help ya on the code

script.Parent.Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mousePos)

	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	--raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = (player.Character)
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Muzzle.Position,(mousePos - script.Parent.Muzzle.Position)*300,raycastParams)

	if raycastResult then
		local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
		local model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")

		if model then
			if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				script.Parent["laser gun sound"]:Play()
				-- below trys to find the attachemnt if it cant it will create a new one and name BeamAttach1  
				local BeamAttach1 = model.Torso:FindFirstChild("BeamAttach1") or Instance.new('Attachment', model.Torso)
				BeamAttach1.Name = 'BeamAttach1'  -- name it if it was created
				-- if you need position offset or something set it here
				script.Parent.Beam1.Attachment1 = BeamAttach1  -- set
				script.Parent.Beam2.Attachment1 = BeamAttach1    -- if you are using the same attachement for them just do this else setup like above
				model.Humanoid.Health -= 100
				wait(.2)   -- this may need to be longer to see beam render
				script.Parent.Beam1.Attachment1 = nil
				script.Parent.Beam2.Attachment1 = nil
			end
		end
	end
end)
