Weird script error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I tried to script some skill thing but it just gone so weird. what is wrong with this script?
the error says It can’t find a humanoidRootPart in PLAYER, Not a character. It was never supposed to be a player, and i tried changing a method but all i could do didnt work as well. it kept saying that humanoidrootpart does not exist on player, even through I wanted it to check Character, not a player. error starts on line 91 btw. “HumanoidRootPart is not a valid member of Player “Players.ritousmirror””

local tool = script.Parent
local character = tool.Parent
if character:IsA("Backpack") then
	character = tool.Parent.Parent.Character
	print(character.Parent)
	print(character)
end

  1. you are literally trying to get HumanoidRootPart from the player
  2. you should use game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter() it’s easier and more reliable
