I have NEVER had this issue before…
If more Information is required please LMK

what is the error and what line it occur? It would help us pin point the problem easily

Indexing nil with Statuslist means you are trying to find the child of a nil object.

local Dictionary = nil
print(Dictionary["Statuslist"]) --Attempt to index nil with Statuslist
print(Dictionary.Statuslist) --This is the same

Since I don’t know what line this error occurs on (please tell next time), this could happen anywhere .Statuslist is.
That being, in order of apperance:

return Characters[player.UserId].StatusList
return Characters[character].StatusList
StatusList = Characters[plr.UserId].StatusList
StatusList = Characters[character].StatusList

Two things can be happening, Either player.UserId or character are nil. or the Characters table does not have that index. I would recommend figuring out that first.

Looking at characterStatusManager:RetriveStatus and characterStatusManager:Stun it seems weird that if plr is nil, then it would try to use character as the index. I would think that character would also be nil if you cant use it to find the player.

Please figure out if plr.UserId or character is nil or if Characters does not have the index. Good luck!

Sorry the reply was late, the script in which the error is occuring im guessing is here…

RFunc.OnServerInvoke = function(plr, arg)
	print(plr)
	if arg == "Status" then
	return StatusMod:RetriveStatus(plr.Character)
	elseif arg == "Cooldown" then
	return NormalMoves[StatusMod:ReturnCombatData(plr.Character).Weapon].Cooldown
	elseif arg == "CombatData" then
	return StatusMod:ReturnCombatData(plr.Character)
	end
end

local M1 = UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
	if not gpe and can_m1 then
		local playerStatus = RFunc:InvokeServer("Status")
		local weaponCooldown = RFunc:InvokeServer("Cooldown")
		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not playerStatus.Stunned and not playerStatus.Cutscene and not playerStatus.InAction and not playerStatus.Blocking then
			while UIS:IsMouseButtonPressed(Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) and can_m1 do
			playerStatus = RFunc:InvokeServer()
				if playerStatus.Stunned or playerStatus.Cutscene or playerStatus.InAction or playerStatus.Blocking then return end

The top part is the server script, bottom is the clientside. It fires a remote function which returns something based on the arg, Everytime I get a error its from the original module AND the client.

oh wait bruh the issue was i didn’t set up the players in the first place…
