I can answer in a minute or so, there's a timer on answering, but you would use game.Players.PlayerAdded pengalu200 65 — 4y

You cannot get the player directly on the server with LocalPlayer, however there are some ways to get the player without it.
Method 1: PlayerAdded This method will get a variable of the player whenever a player joins the game. Example:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
2 |
3 | print(plr.Name) --this will print the name of all players who join. |
4 |
5 | end) |
Method 2: RemoteEvent This method allows the client to send a message to the server (local script to server/normal script). Said message has arguments, and the first argument will always be the client (aka player) who sent it. Example:
1 | --in a localscript |
2 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote:FireServer() |
3 |
4 |
5 | --in a normal/server script |
6 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr) |
7 | print(plr.Name) -- will print whatever client sent that event. |
8 |
9 | end) |
