Hello, I’m trying to make a glass of water tool for the player to drink.
However, I can’t get the animation to play due to this error:
You help is much appreciated!

This is my script:

--Variables

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

local Animation = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Drink")

local Character = player.Character

local Slurp = script.Parent.Handle:FindFirstChild("Sound")

local DrinkAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)

local canDrink = true

local Cooldown = 2.4

--Drink

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()

if canDrink then

canDrink = false
DrinkAnim:Play()
Slurp:Play()
wait(Cooldown)
canDrink = true

end

end)

You need to wait untill character is loaded.

Simply you can use this

repeat wait() until Character

pasted after definition of Character.

For anyone else who will read this topic, I suggest to instead use

local Character = player.Character or player.Character:Wait()

This should give a more accurate time than

repeat wait() until player.Character

As well as it will not check every >0.1 seconds for the player.Character and instead wait for a response and if the player is already loaded it will not run the first wait()
