Cant find humanoid

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So im trying to make this script that locks on to a player if you hover your mouse over them and then press x, however im having troubles actually finding the targets as local Human = Characterc:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") always returns nil anybody have any idea why?

Code (Local Script in starter player scripts)

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local Target = nil
local TargetHuman = nil

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
	print("Updating self")
	Character = c
	Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end)

function Rotate()
	if Humanoid ~= nil and Humanoid.Health > 0 and Target ~= nil and TargetHuman ~= nil then
		if TargetHuman.Health > 0 then
			print("Rotating")
			local newpos = Vector3.new(Target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.X, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Y, Target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Z)
			local faceto = CFrame.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, newpos)
			Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(faceto)
		else
			print("Removing Target")
			Target = nil
			TargetHuman = nil
		end
	else
		print("Removing Target")
		Target = nil
		TargetHuman = nil
	end
end

function CheckTarget()
	print("Checking Targets")
	if Mouse.Target ~= nil then
		local Characterc = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Mouse.Target.Parent)
		if Characterc then
			print("Got character")
			local Human = Characterc:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			print(Human)
			if Human then
				print("Target Found")
				Target = Characterc
				TargetHuman = Human
			end
		end
	else
		print("Nil")
	end
end

print("Binding Functions")
ContextActionService:BindAction("LockOn", CheckTarget, false, Enum.KeyCode.X)
RunService:BindToRenderStep("rotate", Enum.RenderPriority.Last.Value, Rotate)

Use Mouse.Target.Parent instead of Characterc. Characterc is the player, not it’s character.

Characterc is a Player not a Character.

You must do:

local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Mouse.Target.Parent)
local Characterc = Player.Character
