here i have created a script that is supposed to weld a model to the player humanoid root part

local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local morphItem = rStorage:WaitForChild("Morph")

local maxMorphDistance = 5
morphItem.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, item)
    local distanceFromItem = player:DistanceFromCharacter(item.Morpher.Position)
    if distanceFromItem <= maxMorphDistance then
        -- morphcode here
        local copy = item:Clone()
        copy.Parent = item.Parent
        copy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(0, 50, 0))

        local part = item.Morpher
        local Weld = Instance.new("Weld",part)
        print("done")

        -- problem starts below
        game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
            player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
                print("a")
                local torso =   game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player):WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

                part.CFrame = torso.CFrame 
                Weld.Part0 = part
                Weld.Part1 = torso
                print("DONE".. player)
            end)
        end)
    end
end)

im having trouble getting the player, the only thing printed to console is "done". can anyone help?

btw in in line 26 it only prints done because you didint do this :

print("DONE"..player.Name)
0
even with player.Name its still not being printed Boungst 5 — 4y

I think your problem could be because you're using PlayerAdded, that only runs when a player joins and you're firing the event BEFORE that player added even has a chance to run when it's supposed to, I'd suggest doing a for i,v inpairs(game:GetService("Players")) loop then just searching for the player through that.
