Why do you need to get the character if hit.Parent is confirmed to be the player?

#3

this error may cause because the player might have an accessory and that accessory will touch the part so hit.Parent may be the accessory you need to do this:

local Hump = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")  or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") or hit.Parent.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local character = hump.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

this will guarantee that you will find the character correctly
