Attempt to Index nil with CFrame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, so I sometimes I get the following message when trying to copy a player avatar to a podium (part).

‘attempt to index nil with CFrame’

This is the block of code that is running at the time and specifically the error is around the line that reads.

‘clonedChar.PrimaryPart.CFrame = PodiumCFrame’

Now I’ve searched for this error message and the best info I could find relates to a primary part not being assigned, but that didn’t work so i’m wondering if there is an obvious syntax error here?

Is anyone able to cast an eye over the code block to see if it looks fine?
(thanks in advance)

local function GrowSize(character, Podium, PodiumCFrame)
	local humanoid = character.Humanoid
	character.Archivable = true
	local clonedChar = character:Clone()
	clonedChar.Name = character.Name
	clonedChar.Parent = Podium.PodiumPlayer

	local FF = Instance.new("ForceField",clonedChar)
	FF.Visible = false

	task.spawn(function()			
		while wait(2) do
			if clonedChar == nil then return end
			clonedChar.PrimaryPart.CFrame = PodiumCFrame  -- ERROR LINE
		end
	end)

	clonedChar.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = MULTIPLIER_GROWTH
	clonedChar.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = MULTIPLIER_GROWTH
	clonedChar.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = MULTIPLIER_GROWTH

	clonedChar.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = MULTIPLIER_GROWTH
	clonedChar.PrimaryPart.CFrame = PodiumCFrame
	CreateAnimation("rbxassetid://507770239", "Wave", clonedChar.Humanoid)

	clonedChar.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
end

Try

clonedChar:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Podium.CFrame)

Your error just means the primary part doesn’t exist, be sure to assign the primary part on the server, and make sure it doesn’t get unassigned or destroyed at some point

Yeah that doesn’t work. PodiumCFrame is a variable.
