Hello, I made a flashlight that had a battery system. Everything seems to worked pretty fine but when I die and I respawn again, I encountered an error. I thought that the error came from defining variables so I tried to used :WaitForChild and :FindFirstChild but after all, the flashlight didn’t work and it’s just no error in the output
This is the local script before my editing inside the flashlight:
