Need Help with RemoteEvent

[oBrodyz (Brody)]

I’m encountering a issue with a RemoteEvent setup in my game. The goal is to trigger an event when interacting with a prompt on a block object. The server script fires the event correctly, but I consistently receive an “Invalid character structure” error. Despite verifying the hierarchy, checking parenting, and adding delays, the issue persists. The blockPart and the player’s character model are both located in Workspace , and the script appears to execute properly. I suspect there might be an intricacy I’m missing. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the code:

local interactivePrompt = script.Parent
local blockPart = interactivePrompt.Parent

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local equipBlockEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
equipBlockEvent.Name = "equipBlock"
equipBlockEvent.Parent = replicatedStorage

local function toggleEquip(player)
	print("Toggle Equip fired for player:", player.Name)
	equipBlockEvent:FireClient(player)
end

interactivePrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	print("Triggered event fired on the server.")

	wait(1)

	local character = blockPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if character then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character.Parent)

		if player then
			print("Player found:", player.Name)
			toggleEquip(player)
		else
			print("No player found.")
		end
	else
		print("Invalid character structure.")
	end
end)

Is the blockPart located inside the character?

The blockPart is located in Workspace.

Well then the problem is this line here

	local character = blockPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

the parent of blockPart is the workspace not the character
HumanoidRootPart is located in the character

Thank you so much!

That was the problem.
