How do i find the localplayer in this script?
I know you can't use localplayer in a normal script, so I need to know what other way I can find the player in this script, i'm just used to using local scripts, thank you if you can help.
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function() --The Parent of this is a Click Detector
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

The MouseClick event of a ClickDetector passes the player who clicked the button (playerWhoClicked, for example) as the first argument of the callback function.
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function(playerWhoClicked)
local Player = playerWhoClicked -- you don't even need this line. just use playerWhoClicked directly
--TODO: Rest of the code
end)
For more details, please take a look at the wiki page for the MouseClick event, it also has another example: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/ClickDetector/MouseClick

The event MouseClickhas a argument that is the player who clicked, you can use the argument to determine which player clicked the ClickDetector. Note that this doesn't work with FilteringEnabledturned on.
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function(playerWhoClicked)
-- Do what you need to do...
