How to get Player Character in local script?

[Meat_Make]

This is my code:

And this is the error I get:

How can this be? I used a :WaitForChild function for the character and ontop of that used a CharacterAdded function. Why can’t I get the character in the local script? On a server-sided script, it works just fine!

try this:
local char = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Hello, CharacterAdded has a special parameter for your need:

CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)

Option 1:

You can use:

local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

this gets the character of the specific player and if it hasn’t loaded yet it will wait until it does.

Option 2:

You can used a CharacterAdded event like so:

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
     ...
end)

this will fire code within the connected function once the specific player’s character has been added into the game.
