The problem is it gives me a message says “Attempt to index nil with Destroy 38”
here is my code

local Flashlight = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("FlashLightSystem"):FindFirstChild("Flashlight"):Clone()
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.Character.ChildAdded:Wait()
local UserInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local EquipService = Flashlight:FindFirstChild("Equipped/Unequipped").Value
local Part1 = Flashlight:FindFirstChild("Grip")
local Caneaquip = Flashlight:FindFirstChild("CanEquip/Unequip").Value
local Weld = Instance.new("Motor6D",Part1)
local Animations = Flashlight:FindFirstChild("Animations")
------------------------------------------------
--Functions
UserInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(Keycode)
	local LoadEquip = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Animations.Equipped)
	--Equip
	local Character = Player.Character
	local NewFlashLight = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("FlashLight")
	if Keycode.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and Caneaquip == true and EquipService == false then
		Flashlight.Parent = Player.Character
		Weld.Part0 = Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
		Weld.Part1 = Part1
		Caneaquip = false
		
		LoadEquip:Play()
		wait(4)
		Caneaquip = true
		EquipService = true
		--Unequip
	else
		
		if UserInput.InputBegan and Keycode.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and Caneaquip == true and EquipService == true then

			Caneaquip = false
			local LoadEquip2 = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Animations.Unequipped)
			LoadEquip:Stop()
			LoadEquip2:Play()
			wait(0.3)
			NewFlashLight:Destroy()
			wait(4)
			Caneaquip = true
			EquipService = false
			
		end
	end
end)

Hey, can you print the values before destroying the flashlight? The error says that it doesnt exists

Whenever an error occurs, your script stops, so focus on fixing the error first

As i suspected, where is the flashlight located at and parented to? If its in on the character you should do player.Character.FlashLight:Destroy()
