Script doesnt run if cloned

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’m trying to clone npcs from replicated storage to workspace. They have their scripts disabled while in replicatedstorage and their clones have them get enabled. When enabled, the scripts do not work. When not cloning and instead taking the npcs out of replicatedstorage and putting them into workspace, they function fine.

Are you enabling the script for the original npc instead of the cloned one? It’s easier to solve your issue if you could show the code where you clone and enable the scripts

Jeez dude its not 2013 :sob: :pray: why are you using 999999 B.C. instances? :skull:
You have to parent script into anywhere where it can run;
Workspace for example.
No script context can run independently in nil.

I don’t understand. Where is it putting a script into nil?

6

You need to parent script somewhere
You are keeping it at nil

7

where in the script is it doing this?

8

Maybe try to enable the script after the npc is inside the workspace. You’re enabling it beforehand

I’m already enabling it after theyre in the workspace
