ve is a player, from for ie, ve in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do end,
workspace.CamPosis is a model containing 7 parts for camera transition points.
This is screenshot taken from game.
I have been encountering this problem for quite some time now and here is what I have tried and failed:
Using FindFirstChild - Yields in “Attempt to index nil with ‘FindFirstChild’”
Using ve.CharacterAdded:wait() - Yields in infinite wait
Also, another thing to note is that this runs in every player using the GetPlayers for loop I just mentioned, 7 times, using for i = 1,7 do.
Okay but this is in a for loop and my script is very dependency on time, and also I’m only able to make the system on one server sided scripts so I use very hacky solutions to things but that’s not the point. The point is, how would I be able to use ve.CharacterAdded:wait() and not have the code actually wait…Do I use coroutines? I have not a single idea how to use it.
But you are using WaitForChild, which as implied in its name, can wait. If you know there is already a character, just index it with a dot: .Character. The line shown by @sjr04 does exactly that, but has an or ve.CharacterAdded:Wait() just in case ve.Character happens to be nil
If you just want to know if the character exists you can just use a function like this. It won’t yield for when the character does exist, it just returns a bool value that if it does exist.
local function isCharacterLoaded(Player)
if Player.Character then --nil is equal to false
return true
else
return false
end
end
Unfortunately, I am unable to use functions in my code, as this runs solely in the developer console. In addition, functions do not do anything different than using an if statement in your code.
If ve.Character is nil, it means there is no character, which means the script has to either wait for the character or do something else instead. The character might appear very quickly after the initial check, so if you use the methods to wait for the character, it should take very little time.
Also, about the methods, please use the ones people are giving you. Have you tried local character = ve.Character or ve.CharacterAdded:Wait()?
Unfortunately, I have already tried both those methods. using ve.CharacterAdded:wait() results in infinite yield, and assigning a variable to the character for each player in a for loop is unnecesary.
Unfortunately, as this is running in the developer console, using LocalPlayer is not an option, as this is a server script, limited to one script. repeat wait() will stall the for loop, and will result in infinite yield.
Fortunately, I do have the code, which is limited to one script, as this is running in the developer console.
game.Players.iSyriux.Chatted:Connect(function(c) if c=="Camera pan" then local s = Instance.new("Sound",workspace) s.SoundId = "rbxassetid://600589788" s.Volume = 1000 wait(2) s:Play() for i = 1,7 do for ie,ve in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do if ve~=nil then if ve.Character.Humanoid.Health~=0 then local sres = ve.Character.Head.CFrame ve.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 0 game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(ve:WaitForChild("Character"):FindFirstChild("Head"),TweenInfo.new(8,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),{CFrame = workspace.CamPosis[i].CFrame}):Play() end end end wait(7.142) end for ie,ve in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do ve.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 128 ve.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0 end for ies = 1,10 do wait(1.4) for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do if v.Name~="iSyriux" then v.ArbitraryInputServiceSG:FireClient(v,"CamPan") end end end end end)
You’re tying to identify an Instance “Character” inside of Player. Character is not an Instance, it is a property of Player. You should be using ve.Character to get the object value stored inside the property.
