Boss Fight Script Help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello fellow devforum users! I have recently encountered a game breaking bug preventing my boss fight from working. If you see anything wrong with this code please let me know what it is. All help is appreciated!

local fireball = game.ReplicatedStorage.AbilityItems.FireBall
local lava = fireball.Parent.Lava
local target = lava.Parent.Circle
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local plr = plrs:GetPlayers()[1] or plrs.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local db = false

local function FireBallRain()
	if db == false then
		db = true
		local new = fireball:Clone()
		local new2 = target:Clone()
		new2.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -2, 0)
		task.wait(.7)
		new.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 15, 0)
		new.Anchored = false
		wait(2)
		new2:Destroy()
		wait(5)
		new:Destroy()
		task.wait(1)
		db = false
	end
end

for i=1, 10 do
	FireBallRain()
end

Thanks in advanced.

the output says something along the lines of “Attempt to index nil with HumanoidRootPart”

do FireBallRain(player)in for 1 = 1,10 and do FireBallRain(plr) for the function

Hello, seems like plr.Character is returning nil.
try this instead:
local fireball = game.ReplicatedStorage.AbilityItems.FireBall
local lava = fireball.Parent.Lava
local target = lava.Parent.Circle
local plrs = game:GetService(“Players”)
local plr = plrs:GetPlayers()[1] or plrs.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local char = plr.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local db = false
local function FireBallRain()
if db == false then
db = true
local new = fireball:Clone()
local new2 = target:Clone()
new2.CFrame = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -2, 0)
task.wait(.7)
new.CFrame = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 15, 0)
new.Anchored = false
wait(2)
new2:Destroy()
wait(5)
new:Destroy()
task.wait(1)
db = false
end
end
i added in a line that waits for the player’s character to load in. If it still doesn’t work, it would be helpful if you could provide more details about what is wrong

#4

wait no i meant plr for both FireBallRain like this FireBallRain(plr)

#5

Do you mean something similar to this:

for i=1, 10 do
	FireBallRain(plr)
end

local function FireBallRain(plr)
#6

yes try that and tell me if it works

#7 
Attempt to index nil with ‘Character’

This is a server script inside ServerScriptService if that helps.

#8

i fixed your script. please try the fixed version i sent.

#9

Sure thing! I’ll do it whenever I can and share the results. Thanks for the help!

Not sure I follow what the script is looking to do here… Maybe try a different way to get the information needed.

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
