Why does it say Humanoid is not there in player character?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Its my first time testing with context action service, I am actually testing as I don’t know context action service at all.

So the script is:

local contextservice = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local function jumpplayer(actionname,keycode)
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
    print(actionname)
    print(keycode)
end

contextservice:BindAction("JumpPlayer",jumpplayer(),true,Enum.KeyCode.J)

You have to use WaitForChild(“Humanoid”) instead of getting it directly.

This is because humanoid doesn’t load instantly when you join the game.

I tested it after 2 mins after joining, and I tried to change it like this:

local contextservice = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local function jumpplayer(actionname,keycode)
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Jump = true
    print(actionname)
    print(keycode)
end

contextservice:BindAction("JumpPlayer",jumpplayer(),true,Enum.KeyCode.J)

it says attempt to index nil with jump, it says there is no jump

#4

You’re firing the function instead of passing it in, remove the ()

Also the 2nd return is the state of the input, not a keycode

FindFirstChild is not the same as WaitForChild.

WaitForChild waits for the instance to load, while FindFirstChild just checks if the instance exists.

It says not state of input:

Ok I changed it to Wait for child

What is your current code now?

#9 
local contextservice = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local function jumpplayer(actionname,keycode)
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Jump = true
    print(actionname)
    print(keycode)
end

contextservice:BindAction("JumpPlayer",jumpplayer,true,Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard)

It works but, player don’t jump xd

#10

Instead of using the Keyboard UserInputType, can’t you use the J keycode form before? Your issue of it not finding a humanoid was simply because it was calling the function instead of setting it

#11

this happend if i used old script

#12

do you know why player is not jumping?
