How can I access the physical player using a regular script?
I need to be able to access the physical player to change the humanoid of certain players without having them step on or click anything. I don't think it would work with a player added function either because it needs to happen in the middle of the game, but I could be wrong about this. I have tried to get the player name using local player, however that didn't work.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
while wait(1) do
for i,v in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
game.Workspace(v.Name).Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end
end
When using the script above this error message comes up: - Workspace.SeekingA:5: attempt to call a userdata value
And when using the script below it comes up with the same error message.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
while wait(1) do
for i,v in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
game.Workspace(players.Name).Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end
end

The problem is that you wrote down players.Name. You should've done v.Name as "v" is equal to the player. Also, I would use a PlayerAdded event followed by a CharacterAdded event as it's more simple. Try this:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end)
end)
First, the PlayerAdded event fires when, well, a player gets added. Then the CharacterAdded event fires when the character of the player gets added. Then it sets the player's humanoid's WalkSpeed to 20. Also, instead of using a script, you can just go to the StarterPlayer service and set the default WalkSpeed to 20 in it's properties.
There are many different ways to do this, it just depends on what you're doing. Also, you cannot use game.Players.LocalPlayer in a server script, that only works in LocalScripts.
I fixed your script here:
local players = game:GetService("Players")
while wait(1) do
for i,v in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Character and v.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
v.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end
end
end
You can also use this method, which will set a players WalkSpeed each time they respawn.
local players = game:GetService('Players')
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
repeat wait() until char and char:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end)
end)
