How do you put a variable inside game.Players.(variable)?
I tried doing:
1 | local hh = hit.Parent.Name |
2 | game.Players.hh |
But it came out with an error saying that hh is not a valid member of Players.
Can if so, how do I put hh into game.Players.hh?

The Error is telling you there is no such Child named 'hh' within the Players Service, thus the 'hh is not a valid member of Players', this can, however, be fixed by using Brackets, however, I'd recommend using 'FindFirstChild' first. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 10y

Using the FindFirstChild function of ROBLOX instances, you can do just what you are attempting. The function returns the player corresponding to the passed argument, or nil.
1 | local variable = 'Player' |
2 |
3 | if game.Players:FindFirstChild(variale) then |
4 | print('isPlayer') |
5 | else |
6 | print('no') |
7 | end |

:FindFirstChild is a good thing to do -- it's necessary when you aren't absolutely sure there is an object there.
It's also a useful fact that object.index is just sugar -- it's the same thing as indexing by a string; object.index is the same thing as object["index"].
1 | game.Workspace |
2 |
3 | -- same as |
4 | game["Workspace"] |
5 |
6 | -- or the same as |
7 | serviceName = "Workspace" |
8 | game[serviceName] |
