How would I reference the player in this toolscript?
1 | if TOUCHED.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then |
2 | local HUM = TOUCHED.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") |
3 | if HUM.Health <= TOOL.Damage.Value and HUM.Health > 0 then |
4 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
5 | plr.leaderstats.ELevel.Value = 2 |
6 | plr.Backpack.DaggerWood:Destroy() |
7 | local GetDagger = game.ReplicatedStorage.DaggerIron:Clone() |
8 | GetDagger.Parent = plr.Backpack |
9 | end |
This is the code I am having trouble with. I think the problem is that it can't find the localplayer in a server script, so how would I do that? A few other things to note: A kill upgrades the weapon and this is part of a toolscript. All the variables are working, its that small part that isn't. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Use GetPlayerFromCharacter on the player holding the tool.
1 | if TOUCHED.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then |
2 | local HUM = TOUCHED.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") |
3 | if HUM.Health <= TOOL.Damage.Value and HUM.Health > 0 then |
4 | local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(TOOL.Parent) |
5 | plr.leaderstats.ELevel.Value = 2 |
6 | plr.Backpack.DaggerWood:Destroy() |
7 | local GetDagger = game.ReplicatedStorage.DaggerIron:Clone() |
8 | GetDagger.Parent = plr.Backpack |
9 | end |

It's not what I was looking for, though, you did answer the question I had, and I found a way around it, so I'm gonna accept this anyways. Trisodin529 89 — 4y

in this case, TOUCHED.Parent is the character, so you can use game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(TOUCHED.Parent) to get the player
1 | if TOUCHED.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then |
2 | local HUM = TOUCHED.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") |
3 | if HUM.Health <= TOOL.Damage.Value and HUM.Health > 0 then |
4 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(TOUCHED.Parent) |
5 | plr.leaderstats.ELevel.Value = 2 |
6 | plr.Backpack.DaggerWood:Destroy() |
7 | local GetDagger = game.ReplicatedStorage.DaggerIron:Clone() |
8 | GetDagger.Parent = plr.Backpack |
9 | end |

I was thinking that because you're holding it you could reference the player from its hand, but that'd just get the player in workspace. Trisodin529 89 — 4y

if player is holding the tool, you can use TOOL.Parent to get his character Leamir 3138 — 4y

I tried getting the character in workspace, finding the name, then using it to reference the player, but it just says plr is not a valid member of "game.Players" Trisodin529 89 — 4y
