LocalScripts have to go in the Player; they won't run inside of Workspace unless you're in Studio.

Scripts can't use Players.LocalPlayer

In your case, you need to look at using the part from Touched.

thing.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent);
if player then
-- player is now the Player that touched it
end
end)

It's not a local script, and I want it so when somebody touched it that stuff happens to them. Zelnus 30 — 9y

Scripts can't use `Players.LocalPlayer`, see if you can get the Player some other way User#6546 35 — 9y

How else could I find the player? Zelnus 30 — 9y

Touched gives the Part. User#6546 35 — 9y
