Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello im making a jojo game and heres the script so far as we dont have more than 1 stand implemented so far theres only king crimson so heres the script :

local Arrow = script.Parent
local Stands = game.ServerStorage.Stands
local KingCrimson = Stands.KingCrimson
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = Player.Backpack
Arrow.Activated:Connect(function()

KingCrimson:Clone()
KingCrimson.parent = Backpack

end)

but for some reason i get this error message?
Players.3th4n328.Backpack.Arrow.ArrowScript:7: attempt to index nil with ‘Backpack’

#2

local Players = game:WaitForChild(“Players”)
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = Player.Backpack

Try changing the local Players to waitforchild, as the players might not be there when you load in.

First off, since this a localscript (im assuming) you can’t access ServerStorage, that’s server only.

For something like this, you would store in objects in ReplicatedStorage

local Stands = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Stands -- use ReplicatedStorage instead

local Arrow = script.Parent
local Stands = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Stands -- or you can do "game.ReplicatedStorage.Stands"
local KingCrimson = Stands.KingCrimson

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = Player.Backpack

Arrow.Activated:Connect(function()
   local obj = KingCrimson:Clone() -- save the cloned object to a variable
   obj.Parent = Backpack -- capital "P" for parent
end)

@Ulxqra
game:GetService("Players") is a service, not an Instance, you don’t need WaitForChild

After looking at this a second time, I realized you are using a Server Script. You can’t access LocalPlayer from a server script. To do that, you would need to utilize Remote Events.

well… its not a local script so it can access server storage…

Then remote events would be a better option

-- local script
local Arrow = script.Parent
local Remote = -- create a new remote event instance and put the path to it here

Arrow.Activated:Connect(function()
    Remote:FireServer() -- send a request to the server to get the item
end)

-- server script
local Stands = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Stands
local KingCrimson = Stands.KingCrimson
local Remote = -- input the remote event's path here

Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) -- the player who fired it is automatically passed
   local Backpack = player.Backpack
   local obj = KingCrimson:Clone()
   obj.Parent = Backpack
end)
