Help with finding character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I need to find the character from a player, but when I try to, it keeps resulting in infinite yield. Here’s the script:

commands.handto = function(sender,arguments)
	if sender:GetRankInGroup(11635716) >= 3 then
		local inventory = sender:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		local character = sender:WaitForChild("Character")
		if not character or not character.Parent then
			character = sender.Character
		end
		local item
		for i, tool in pairs(inventory:GetChildren()) do
			if not tool.Name == "Mop" or "Notepad" then
				if tool.Parent == character then
					item = tool
					print(item.Name)
				end
			end
		end

		for i, playerName in pairs(arguments) do
			print(playerName)
		end
		local customerName = arguments[1]

		if customerName then
			local customer = findPlayer(customerName)
			if customer then
				item.Parent = customer:WaitForChild("Backpack")
				addPoints.addPoints(sender)
			end
		end
	end
end

How do I fix this?

The character is not a child of the player, you can’t use WaitForChild here.
Simply use this:

local character = sender.Character or sender.CharacterAdded:Wait()
