How do you accept the manual chore of deleting indentation that is specifically automated, for the central purpose of making readable code?

Simply, firing clients must have a player instance as the first argument. Tag.Parent is the Humanoid, so you have to either use Tag.Parent.Parent (for any part which is a child of the character) or Tag.Parent.Parent.Parent (if hit is an accessory). However, I'd prefer the code below.

local Player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Tag.Parent.Parent.Name)
if not Player then
      Player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Tag.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
end

if Player then
	game.ReplicatedStorage.SoulsEvent:FireClient(Player)
else
	warn('No player object found')
end

If anyone needs the same thing i got it to work now

local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid

function kill() 
   local Tag = Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") 
   if Tag ~= nil then 
      if Tag.Value ~= nil then 
          local Leaderstats = Tag.Value:findFirstChild("leaderstats") 
          if Leaderstats ~= nil then 
           Leaderstats.Souls.Value = Leaderstats.Souls.Value + 250 --Change Money to the stat that is increased.
           local Player = Tag.Value 
		   game.ReplicatedStorage.SoulsEvent:FireClient(Player)
           wait(0.1) 
           script:remove() 
         end 
      end 
   end 
end 

Humanoid.Died:connect(kill)
