ServerScriptService.CombatServer.Combat_Handler:52: attempt to index nil with 'Character'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently, my Character is being print as nil. I have no idea why whilst I use my module so I’m pretty confused.

function Combat_Handler.BlockBar(Player,Character,Humrp,sequence,Action,enemyHumanoid)
	
	
	local Character = Player.Character
	
	local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
	
	if Character:FindFirstChild("BlockBar") then
		BStam = Instance.new("NumberValue", Character)
		BStam.Name = "BlockStamina"
		BStam.Value = 100
		local Stam = script.BlockStamina:Clone()
		Stam.Parent = Character.Head

		coroutine.create(function()
			while Character.Parent == workspace.LivingThings do
				if BStam.Value >= 100 then 
					BStam.Value = 100
					Stam.Frame.Visible = false
				elseif BStam.Value < 100 and BStam.Value > 0 then
					if Character:FindFirstChild("Blocking") == nil then
						BStam.Value = BStam.Value + 0.5
						Stam.Frame.Visbile = true
						Stam.Frame.Size = UDim2.new(BStam.Value/100,0,1,0)
					elseif BStam.Value <= 0 then
						DicHandler.add(enemyHumanoid, "LongStun")
						enemyHumanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
						enemyHumanoid.JumpPower = 0
						
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
	if Action == "Release" then
		ButtonDown = false
		return Player
	end
end

Currently I tried using the Print method to figure it out, but it failed to print out anything and all I said saw ‘nil’, yet I looked through the other modules and it just didn’t make sense to me. Also, I decided to keep the other Character because I forgot, but both ways it doesn’t work and will just say Character along with Player is nil.

#3

is this in a local script or server script? or module

#4

The script is within a module. Right now it’s meant to be a block bar, and the guardbreak part of the module is in the actual combat module script.

#5

How did you call the function?

#6

I think its because you defined character at the top if the script

function Combat_Handler.BlockBar(Player,Character,Humrp,sequence,Action,enemyHumanoid)

That’s probably a value that’s not a model and that means that it does not have the parts under it

#7

It was fired like this

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Block = RS:WaitForChild("Block")

local Combat_Handler = require(game.ServerScriptService.CombatServer.Combat_Handler)

local SSS = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local DicHandler = require(SSS:WaitForChild("DictonaryHandler"))

Block.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, sequence)
	
	local Character = Player.Character
	local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
	local Humrp = Character.HumanoidRootPart

	if not DicHandler.find(Character, "Stunned") or DicHandler.find(Character, "LongStun") then
		if Combat_Handler.BlockBar() then
			print("We are working")
			Combat_Handler.BlockBar()
		end
	end
end)
#8

Even when I removed it multiple times and printed Character as

local Character = Player.Character

Player would be seen as nil once I printed it out. I don’t really know why Player is nil which is the main issue for me.

#9

I know this may be stupid but try finding character by going into workspace instead

local Character = workspace[player.Name]

I don’t get it either, I’ve had instances where player.Character is nil lol so I just searched workspace.

i dont know why your player is nil though

#10

ServerScriptService.CombatServer.Combat_Handler:52: attempt to index nil with ‘Name’

Is the new error. This is very odd. I might just end up making the Block Module a completely different script but I don’t know right now since the Create Hitbox module is linked directly with the damage.

#11

player is nil then, you need to check how you are setting up parameters ill try to spot anything

#12

can you show you fireclient or fireallclient code

#13

Where the client is fired/ the local script? Or the other module?

#14

ah i meant the fireserver, because the code u show only has onserverevent

#15 
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Combat = RS:WaitForChild("Combat")

local Combat_Handler = require(script.Combat_Handler)

local SSS = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")

Combat.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, sequence)
	
	local Character = Player.Character
	local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
	local Humrp = Character.HumanoidRootPart
	
	if not DicHandler.find(Character, "Stunned") or DicHandler.find(Character, "LongStun") or Combat_Handler.BlockBar() then
		local Action, Length = Combat_Handler.getAnimation(Humanoid, sequence)
		print("Anims Playing")
		Action:Play()

		Action:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Hitbox"):Connect(function()
			Combat_Handler.CreateHB(Player, Character, Humrp, Length, sequence)
		end)

		wait(Length)

		if string.len(sequence) < 4 then
			Combat:FireClient(Player, false)
		else
			Combat:FireClient(Player, true)
		end
	else
		Combat:FireClient(Player, false)
	end
	
	
end)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if not IsTyping and not isblocking then
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
			if Debounce == false then
				Debounce = true 
				curr = os.clock()
				
				
				local PT = curr - prev
				if PT < 1 then
					sequence = sequence.."L"
					if string.len(sequence) > 4 then
						print("Resetting Combo.")
						sequence = "L"
					end
				else
					sequence = "L"
				end
				
				Combat:FireServer(sequence)
				
				
			end
		end
	end
end)

Combat.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(bool)
	prev = curr
	
	if bool then
		wait(cds[2])
		Debounce = false
	else
		Debounce = false
	end
end)
#16

weird and printing player.Name onserverevent of combat is nil? that doesnt make sense

#17

Yeah, along with that I checked around in the modules, and removed the overbearing amount of params, yet it still has the issue when I try to run the Block Module. So, right now I’m just looking for anything else that might of been overlooked.
