Character Not A Valid Member of Sky?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I got this error after I re-enabled my server script (handles everything in the server side of the game)

The error in the output shows: [ Character is not a valid member of Sky]

on first I didn’t even know what this is, I didn’t even know this was a thing, I don’t even have a line of code where it redirects to the lighting or skies something like that

local function teleportPlayers()
	local spawns = currentmap:FindFirstChild(chosenmap.Value).Spawns:GetChildren()
	for _, Player in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
		
		
		Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = currentmap:FindFirstChild(chosenmap.Value).Spawns.Part.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 10 ,0) 
		
		table.insert(contestants, Player)
		connections[Player.Name] = Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			table.remove(contestants, table.find(contestants, Player))
			Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		end)
	end
end

Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = currentmap:FindFirstChild(chosenmap.Value).Spawns.Part.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 10 ,0)

here is the code which caused the error

All help is appreciated :smiley:

Are you sure Players is game.Players and not something else because that’s like the only way this error can occur.

#3

I used Players as

game:GetService("Players")
#4

Then it should work fine unless you accidentally turned Players to something else at some point in your code.

So I solved the problem, Instead of defining Player using the Players service I defined Player in the for loop as

local function teleportPlayers()
	local spawns = currentmap:FindFirstChild(chosenmap.Value).Spawns:GetChildren()
	for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		
		
		Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = currentmap:FindFirstChild(chosenmap.Value).Spawns.Part.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 10 ,0) 
		
		table.insert(contestants, Player)
		connections[Player.Name] = Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			table.remove(contestants, table.find(contestants, Player))
			Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		end)
	end
end

Edit: I still didn’t know why using the Players service dont work .-.

This may because you have an object called Sky in your player service?

Also, happy birthday person above.

I forgot that you can put other objects inside PlayersService that’s not a player object. But why would anyone do that though?
Also thanks.

Yeh I asked that before, and I was like WHAT!? I mean why not just use GetPlayers over GetChildren. I mean sure but it’s literally the Player Service.

Because nobody excepts someone to put an object inside players so normally there wouldn’t be any difference between :GetChildren() and :GetPlayers().
