Infinite yield on humaniod

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a spaceship game but I need to identify humanoid but I get an infinite yield?
I want so if a player is seated in the verchileseat it will cancolide it true then when there is no one it turns to false.
i have attempted…

local character = game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("humanoid")
local door = script.Parent.Parent.Door

function seat()
	if humanoid.sit == true
	then
		door.Part1.CanCollide = true
		door.Part2.CanCollide = true
		door.Part3.CanCollide = true
		
	else
		if humanoid.sit == false
			then

I get an infinite yield, what do i fix???.

I’d suggest to replace This:

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("humanoid")

to this:

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Maybe the problem exists, because the H was lowercase.

Your character isn’t in theStarterCharacterScripts…

i tried but is still get the yield

#5

its ment to be a ship to be bought at a store, then copied into a player inventory where they can release it.

Still, that’s not how you get the Character. To get the character from LocalPlayer, you can doLocalPlayer.Character or put the script in StarterCharacterScripts.

#7

how would this work? such as if copied 20 times the script has to be separate and not one person operating all the ships (scripts)

StarterCharacterScripts is a child of Game, it will never contain a Humanoid, so that’s where you’re getting an infinite yield from.

In a LocalScript, you can just use Game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character to get the local Character and thus the Humanoid.

In a server Script, you can use the following method:

local character
local humanoid

script.AncestryChanged:Connect(function(child, parent)
	character = script.parent
	humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end)
-- continue code

This will leave the original code in StarterCharacterScripts unchanged.

I suggest instead of doing that doing the following:
Detecting for a player to join → detecting if their character loads (on a server script)
