Attempt to index nil with waitforchild

[ElectricPeaPvZ (ElectricPea)]

I was trying to make a vote system that was awesome and ran into a usual problem. “Attempt to index nil wait “WaitForChild””

This is part of my code, this is the part giving an error.

Dmap1.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit then
			local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			if plr:WaitForChild("Voted").Value ~= Cmap1.Name and plr:WaitForChild("Voted") ~= nil then -- error
				plr:WaitForChild("Voted").Value = Cmap1.Name
				v1.Value += 1
				if v2.Value > 0 then
					v2.Value -= 1
				elseif v3.Value > 0 then
					v3.Value -= 1
				end
			end
		end
	end)

Help appreicated!

Your plr is not found by the method you use sometimes.
Make sure to check if the plr exists first before using that local variable for anything else.

Solution:

if plr and plr:WaitForChild("Voted").Value ~= Cmap1.Name and plr:WaitForChild("Voted") ~= nil then -- error
