"Attempt to index nil with 'Connect'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I tried to fix this punching script but I keep encountering this problem no matter what I try.
I also keep getting this error:
15:35:03.460 Players.musman65.Backpack.Punching:21: attempt to index nil with ‘Connect’ - Client - Punching:21

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Punch = rp:WaitForChild("Punch")

local UIS = game:GetChildren("UserInputService")

local isActive = false
local debounce = false
local comSeq = ""

local currTime = 0
local prevTime = 0

local cds = 
{
		cd1 = .25;
		cd2 = 1;
}

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
	if isTyping then
		return
	elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if debounce == false then
			debounce = true
			currTime = os.clock()

			local passTime = currTime - prevTime
			if passTime < 1 then
				comSeq = comSeq.."L"

				if string.len(comSeq) > 3 then
					comSeq = "L"
				end
			else
				comSeq = "L"
			end

			Punch:FireServer(comSeq)
		end
	end
end)

Punch.OnClientEventConnect(function(canPunch)
	if canPunch then
		--Player has stand equipped
		prevTime = currTime
		wait(cds.cd1)
		debounce = false
	else
		--Player doesn't have stand equipped
		wait(cds.cd2)
		debounce = false

	end
end)

It’s game:GetService not GetChildren

You wrote GetChildren instead of GetService

Also, you simply forgot to add the : at

So, make it Punch.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(canPunch)
