Well i have this script, it should run fine but Roblox likes to be crazy.

sp = script.Parent
spp = script.Parent.Parent
while spp do
wait()
if script.Parent.Parent.Name == "PlayerGui" then
--No need for the rest of the script

Even though in the script is shown that the loop only should run when script.Parent.Parent exists, it still errors:

Workspace.PlayerComputer.Backup.ComputerGui.PlayerChecker:5: attempt to index field 'Parent' (a nil value)

Well, the script is in a ScreenGui. From start of the game the Gui is inside a model, when a player sits down to a chair the gui gets moved into the player's PlayerGui. Every (0) seconds Gui's copy gets sent to a model inside the start model. When player jumps off the chair HIS gui gets deleted, but the copied one moves to position like it was in start (kind of like a circulation). Prints are not needed, because that is the only line which errors.

So basically youre trying to clone the GUI from a model and move it to the PlayerGui then vise versa when they jump off?

Pretty much yeah. I can give you a model of it so you can understand it better if you need.

I havent done this in a while

put the GUI in Lighting:

put this in the seat:

gui = game.Lighting.GUI

script.Parent.ChildAdded:connect(function(p) --I think thats how it works for seats
local player = game.Players:findFirstChild(p.Name) --Or is it p.Parent.Name...?
gui:clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui
end)

script.Parent.ChildRemoved:connect(function(pp)
local player = game.Players:findFirstChild(pp.Name)
if player.PlayerGui:findFirstChild("GUI") then
player.PlayerGui.GUI:Destroy()
end
end)

Btw, seat script:

while true do
wait()
weld = script.Parent:findFirstChild("SeatWeld")
if weld then
player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.SeatWeld.Part1.Parent)
Gui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:findFirstChild("ComputerGui")
GuiCheck = player.PlayerGui:findFirstChild("ComputerGui")
if Gui and GuiCheck == nil then
Gui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name = player.Name.."Computer"
elseif
Gui == nil then
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name = player.Name.."Computer"
end
elseif
weld == nil then
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name = "Computer"
end
end

if it works you can just put a pcall on the line with errors? Im still not fully understanding your script. I never scripted using welds.

Protected call, if theres an error, it will skip that line of code.

ex:

pcall(function() player.Name = "umg" end)

If you put that in an empty script it wont throw an error.
