One way to fix this would be to use :WaitForChild() now I'm not sure if this is the best method, but it works :)
1 | local character = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Player1") |
2 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) |
3 |
4 | if player then |
5 | print("Player is " .. player.Name) |
6 | else |
7 | print("Player doesn't exist!") |
8 | end |
Elaborate The error "Player1 is not a valid member of Workspace" is displaced because the script ran before the character loaded, so the player wasn't part of Workspace.

When you post/edit the question there is a Lua code logo on top of the textbox where you write the question, click on it and put your code in the middle. Omarstein 100 — 8y
