script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
game.ReplicatedStorage.ReachedEnd:FireAllClients(plr.Parent.Name)
end)

the script that makes the chats

game.ReplicatedStorage.ReachedEnd.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plrName)

game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
		Text = plrName .. " Reached the end",
		Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255),

Well, you see, Touched event returns a part, not a player instance, therefore, change the script in the end part to something like this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if part:IsDescendantOf(v.Character) then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.ReachedEnd:FireAllClients(v.Name)
		end
	end
end)

ur lucky that i'm online rn, this question is literally less than 5 minutes old and there's already an answer

Well, seems like your script is correct but what got touched is the part of the accessory so you can do

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then


game.ReplicatedStorage.ReachedEnd:FireAllClients(hit.Parent.Parent.Name)

elseif hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then


game.ReplicatedStorage.ReachedEnd:FireAllClients(hit.Parent.Name)

end
end)
