How to get a player from a touched event, not a character?
I am making a touched event on a door that makes a GUI appear. But I just realized I need to put it in the player, not the character, except that touched events give the character, not the player. Help?

The GetPlayerFromCharacter method of game.Players is what you're looking for:
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
--code
end
end)

There's really not much to explain, Alpha. `GetPlayerFromCharacter` is not a cryptic function name, and groovy already knows how to get the Character from a Touched event, as evidenced by his original question. adark 5487 — 9y

I'm pretty sure the Function Name is self-explanatory. DigitalVeer 1473 — 9y
