Replacement for LocalPlayer? / Hit Box system might be garbage

Long post and I'm still new to scripting. So,

I was following a tutorial (Link)(Might be an outdated method) I decided to follow this tutorial to make a damage system. He puts the Remote Function in the Local script as a child he uses and he adds a normal script as a child of the Remote Function.

Followed it . It didn't do any damage, so I thought to change the script to use a Remote Function in the Replicated Storage.

Local Script works fine and no error, but the script I used to activate the Remote function can no long use LocalPlayer. Is there a replacement for this Also please let me know if I need to change the way I need to do this.

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local punching = rs:WaitForChild("ThePunch")

Enabled = true

punching.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Action, Player, numb1)
    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local char = player.Character

    if Enabled == false then
        return
    end
    if Action == "Combat" then
        for i, v in pairs(workspace:children()) do
            if v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and v:FindFirstChild("Debounce") and v ~= char then
                if (v.HumanoidRootPart.Position-char.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitue <= 5 then
                    v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end)
