Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

@BIGmartha27

print(playerinstance)

What does playerinstance print?

[BIGmartha27]

playerinstance prints my name CENABOOSS

[Doomcolp (dxxmed)]

Try printing a child of your character like it’s HumanoidRootPart

[BIGmartha27]

it prints , its an instance thatis MY CHARACTer

[BIGmartha27]

the script is messy but playerinstance is character ISNTACE and player is the player

[Doomcolp (dxxmed)]

Do you have a model or something in the workspace with the exact same name as your username?

That might be causing it to return nil
