How to make onTouch check for something in the localplayer ?
How you do it ? I get error Workspace.Part.Script:5: attempt to index upvalue 'player' (a nil value)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Test") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
else
print("Thing not found, yay")
end
end
end)

The error does not match this code? Where is 'upvalue' User#5423 17 — 7y

You can always put a Script inside of the part and do like this
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent)
if player ~= nil then
if player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Test") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
else
print("Thing not found, yay")
end
end
end)
A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects: A Player's Backpack, such as a child of a Tool A Player's Character model A Player's PlayerGui A Player's PlayerScripts The ReplicatedFirst service Note: the parent of the LocalScript will determine which client the Lua code will be executed on.
Also, LocalPlayer can only be referenced from the client, via LocalScript. Thus trying to call LocalPlayer anywhere on the server will not work.

Is it a SCRIPT, not LocalScript inside of the part? TestingPlace1337 51 — 7y

I promise you that what I have above works. 100% just tested it. A script inside a part in workspace, with any item named 'Test' inside of PlayerGui. TestingPlace1337 51 — 7y
