Server Script:

local tiger = script.Parent
local humanoid = tiger:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = true
local attackAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Attack)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Attack.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	print(0)
	for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		print(1)
		local target = player.Character
		local distance = (tiger.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
		if distance <= 8  and target and target ~= tiger and humanoid.WalkSpeed ~= 0 and debounce == true and target.Name ~= "Tiger" and target.Name ~= "Tiger1" then
			debounce = false
			print(2)
			tiger.Head.AttackSound:Play()
			local playerDeath = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("playerdeath")
			local KillFeed = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("KillFeed")
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
			local tigerplayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tiger)
			playerDeath:FireClient(player,tiger)
			attackAnim:Play()
			attackAnim.Stopped:Wait()
			target.Humanoid.Health = 0
			tigerplayer.leaderstats.Meat.Value += 1
			KillFeed:FireClient(tigerplayer,player)
			wait(10)
			debounce = true
		end
	end
end)

Local Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.KillFeed.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(tigerplayer,player)
	local thumb1 = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumb2 = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	script.Parent.Visible = true
	script.Parent.PlayerName.Text = player.Name
	script.Parent.PlayerImage.Image = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId,thumb1,thumb2)
end)

Error:

Players.Player2.PlayerGui.KillFeed.Frame.LocalScript:5: attempt to index nil with 'Name'

Why isn’t it working?

#2

The player doesn’t exist. If it is indexing nil with .Name and it is a player object, then it probably means the Player is nil.

#3

Maybe because I am killing him, so should I before I am killing him?

#4

What is the tiger variable? Is it the player or another object?

#5

the Tiger is my player so you and the player is the one that you kill!

#6

When firing a RemoteEvent to the client on the server you’ve to pass the actual Player argument first that the RemoteEvent would land on, you’re currently actually passing one argument not two.

Example:

-- Server
local Player = -- The player who  you're going to fire  a remote event to.
local OtherPlaer = -- any other argument
RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player, OtherPlayer)

-- Client
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(OtherPlayer)

end)
#7

how to fix it, because I don’t know how?

#8

So just don`t give the player as a parameter and only the other ok

Here is the new code, this will fix your issue.

local tiger = script.Parent
local humanoid = tiger:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = true
local attackAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Attack)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Attack.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	print(0)
	for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		print(1)
		local target = player.Character
		local distance = (tiger.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
		if distance <= 8  and target and target ~= tiger and humanoid.WalkSpeed ~= 0 and debounce == true and target.Name ~= "Tiger" and target.Name ~= "Tiger1" then
			debounce = false
			print(2)
			tiger.Head.AttackSound:Play()
			local playerDeath = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("playerdeath")
			local KillFeed = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("KillFeed")
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
			local tigerplayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tiger)
			playerDeath:FireClient(player,tiger)
			attackAnim:Play()
			attackAnim.Stopped:Wait()
			target.Humanoid.Health = 0
			tigerplayer.leaderstats.Meat.Value += 1
			KillFeed:FireClient(tigerplayer,player)
			wait(10)
			debounce = true
		end
	end
end)

LocalScript

game.ReplicatedStorage.KillFeed.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local thumb1 = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumb2 = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	script.Parent.Visible = true
	script.Parent.PlayerName.Text = player.Name
	script.Parent.PlayerImage.Image = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId,thumb1,thumb2)
end)
