Hit detect script somehow broken

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I created a “hit detect” script inside of my enemy’s AI script. What it’s supposed to do is wait until the enemy has been attacked. The script works perfectly in Studio but when I play it “In-game”, I get this:

Attempt to index nil with Value (Line 29)

Here’s how the AI’s organized:

And here is the script:

EnemyCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not canBeDamaged then
		return
	end
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then --Checks to see if the player is a humanoid
		
		local PlayerBodPts = { --All parts that the player uses to hit
			hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm"),
			hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm"),
			hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Leg")
		}
		
		local HitConfig = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HitConfig")
		print("Okay dude... :/")
		
		for i,v in pairs(PlayerBodPts) do
			
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("isAttacking").Value then --Line 29

Is this because of a bug or an error I made? Answers are welcome! :smiley:

The error means that “isAttacking” does not exist under hit.Parent whenever line 29 is run.

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("isAttacking")

You should verify that this instance exists first but attempting to index its “Value” property.

If the character exists, then you don’t have the value in the character or the value is getting deleted.
