-Whats The Error-
15:00:13.436 Workspace.Bowl.Script:5: attempt to index nil with ‘Backpack’ - Server - Script:5

-Whats Are You using it for-
For A Test Ive been trying to find out the problem for ever.

-Whats The Script Type-
Local Script Because im Trying To Get A Local Player.

-Whats The Script-

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()

local Bowl = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Bowls"):Clone()

Bowl.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack

end)
#2

If this is a normal script, LocalPlayer won’t work. Use the player parameter of the clickdetector.MouseClick

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

local Bowl = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Bowls"):Clone()

Bowl.Parent = player.Backpack

end)
#3

read i said its already in the local script.

#4

This error says different though? It points out “Server”, also, it says the name is just “Script”, which all leads to a normal script.

#5

Okay ill try but thats not the problem the problem is the Backpack there saying an index nil with if you read

  • Whats The Error -

you would find the problem

#6

the script is on the workspace, also in a model in the model theres a click ditecter and in the model theres a script

#7

LocalScripts don’t run in workspace. Again, this leads to it being a server script if it is even running, causing the error. If this was a localscript, 1. It wouldn’t be able to run in workspace, 2. it wouldn’t error on the game.Players.LocalPlayer calling it nil, and 3. the tool/model wouldn’t even clone properly.

#8

What does it run in?? i didnt know.

#9

Just check this info on localscripts

#10

A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects:

  • A Player’s Backpack , such as a child of a Tool
  • A Player’s character model
  • A Player’s PlayerGui
  • A Player’s PlayerScripts .
  • The ReplicatedFirst service

What im getting from it is it can run if its these but i already have an object which is backpack thats index nil in local script.

#11

What I’m getting from what you’re saying is that it is saying the “LocalPlayer” is nil, right? if so, that means that it is obviously not a localscript. Can you show me your explorer?

#12

Alright i just notice that it was not a local script, sorry for the incovience but its not giving me an error once i put it in a local script so it must not be running evan know its say
