You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    This round ending and starting successfully on an admins chat
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    After I stop the event and start it again I get the error of:
attempt to index nil with 'Position'

the on chatted when they type “!EndEvent” it runs this

BindableEvent:Fire(false, 2)

and for start it runs

BindableEvent:Fire(true, 1)

Error is on

local target = FindNearest(rayOriginPart.Position)

Here is my main part of my code (server sided)

BindableEvent.Event:Connect(function(isRunning, id)
	print("called with", id)
	if running and isRunning then return end
	running = isRunning
	while running do
		local target = FindNearest(rayOriginPart.Position)
		if target then
			Target = target.HumanoidRootPart
		end
		local origin = rayOriginPart.CFrame.Position
		local rayTarget = target_previous:Lerp(Target.Position, laser_TrackingAccuracy)
		local direction = (rayTarget - origin)
		local results = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction * 100, raycastParameters)
		if not results then
			results = {Position = rayTarget}
		else
			if results.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not results.Instance:IsDescendantOf(workspace.HappyHome) and not results.Instance.Parent:IsA("Accessory") then
				if debounce == false then
					debounce = true
					local targetChar = results.Instance.Parent
					if targetChar then
						takeDamage(targetChar.Humanoid)
						else debounce = false
					end
					
					wait(1)
					debounce = false
				end
				
			elseif results.Instance:IsDescendantOf(workspace.HappyHome) then
				local NewDetector = Detector:Clone()
				NewDetector.Parent = workspace
				NewDetector.Position = results.Instance.Position

				local PartsList = NewDetector:GetTouchingParts()
				results.Instance:Destroy()

				for _,Part in ipairs(PartsList) do
					if Part:IsDescendantOf(workspace.HappyHome.Home.House) then
						Part:BreakJoints()
						Part:ApplyImpulse(math.random(1, 100), math.random(100, 500), math.random(1,100))
					end
				end

				NewDetector:Destroy()
			end
		end
		local distance = (results.Position - origin).Magnitude
		local LaserPosition = laserPart.Position
		LaserPart.Size = Vector3.new(laser_Thickness,laser_Thickness,distance)
		laserPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(origin, results.Position) * CFrame.new(0,0, -distance/2)

		target_previous = rayTarget
		wait()
	end
	print("ending")
end)

thanks in advanced.

#2

Which line did the output say the error is on

#3

Oh sorry I forgot that! There you go

#4

Okay thanks! So what does rayOriginPart equal? Because I don’t see a variable for it.

#5

Here is the few variables near it and the variable

local rayOriginPart = Eye
local laserPart = LaserPart
local raycastParameters = RaycastParams.new()
#6

Okay, so now what does Eye equal?

#7

The eye is an union part, that part is working, just the target after you end and start again doesn’t work

#8

Is there any part in the code where it gets deleted/destroyed?

#9

Nope, I was still alive even, sometimes it errors when I reset but when I started I was alive

#10

do:

print(rayOriginPart.Parent.Name)

above the line where the error occurs and tell me what it prints

#11

Like I said, it can’t seem to find the player even if they are alive.
it errors when I try to print

attempt to index nil with 'Parent'
