Attempt to Index nil with 'Blade'

I’ve been making a sword script, but I keep getting an error that keeps showing up.
Script:

local Character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local debounce = false
local sword = Character:WaitForChild("Sword", 1)
local RaycastHitbox = require(workspace.RaycastHitboxV3)
local Damage = 20
wait(2)
local blade = sword.Blade
local Hitbox = RaycastHitbox:Initialize(blade, {Character})
local replicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
local particlepart = replicatedStorage["Particle Part"]


mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
	if key == "f" then
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			
			local humanoid = Character.Humanoid
			local Animations = Character.Animations
			local animatior = humanoid.Animator
			local Animation = animatior:LoadAnimation(Animations.swip)
			
			
			Hitbox:HitStart()
			Animation:Play()
			blade.Swipe:Play()
			wait(.5)
			Animation:Stop()
			Hitbox:HitStop()
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

Hitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit)
	print(hit.Name)
	local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local particle = particlepart.Spark:Clone()
	particle.Parent = hit
	
	humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
	blade.Hit:Play()
	particle.ParticleEmitter:Emit(10)
	wait(1)
	particle:Destroy()
end)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
	repeat wait() until character:FindFirstChild("Sword")
	local sword = character:FindFirstChild("Sword")
	for _, part in ipairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
			-- Remember that LTM is a multiplier; 0-values will not force different transparency
			if debounce then
				part.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
				blade.Trail.Enabled = true
				blade.Blue.Enabled = true
			else
				part.LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
				blade.Blue.Enabled = false
				blade.Trail.Enabled = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

Maybe check capitalization or spelling issues.

Oh yeah can you also show the parts inside the sword? Screenshot

#3

You should try using :Init() instead of Intialize

#4

I don’t see any capitalization errors here.

#5

The module doesn’t have the function :Init()

#6

is the sword given to the player located in starterplayertool

#7

The sword is not a tool. It is an accessory.

#8

Have you checked if the module script even exists or you mispelled it

#9

where are they originally located, sword and blade

#10

My problem has nothing to do with the module script.

#11

ServerStorage, and then put into the character.

#12

The cloning is done in another script

#13

hmmmmm I’m wondering if it clones the sword’s child at the same time.

#14

The blade is the child of the sword. And I clone the accessory, which would clone all of its children

#15

is Archivable on for all of them

#16

It is, everything clones to the character, the sword script just cant FIND it.

#17

try to put another waitforchild for blade .-. I think

#18

I have tried that, it hasn’t worked.

#19

Try taking out the “1” for the timeOut argument on sword = Character:WaitForChild(“Sword”, 1)

It probably isn’t waiting long enough to find it before it loads.

#20

So you’re saying I should increase the timeOut?
