LocalScript can't find Humanoid

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Probably the stupidest and most common error ever, but:

“Attempt to index nil with ‘Humanoid’”

Script path = StarterPlayer => StarterPlayerScripts => LocalScript

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players") 
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid --errorline

Using any FindFirstChild or WaitForChild didn’t work.

Try

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players") 
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.Character:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid

The reason it doesn’t find the Humanoid is that the Character hasn’t loaded, so you need to wait for it to load.

Try to use this script, but on StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Players = game:GetService("Players") 
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Player.Character is not an event, maybe you were trying to talk about Player.CharacterAdded, but anyways this event is now deprecated.

I’m using a “LocalScript” as stated in the title of this thread lol
