Is there a way to use game.Players.Localplayer but in regular scripts?

It is a little more complicated to find the local player via global script, although it can still be achieved.
One way that the player can be found would be to do the following:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
-- do stuff
end)
In this case, 'plr' would be that local player.
In addition to finding the player by a PlayerAdded event, it can also be achieved via the Touched event:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local player = hit.Parent:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
end
end)

I have one more question, how would I use it in an if statement that does this: ID = 1337 if ID == game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId then

You're not necessarily getting the LocalPlayer. The LocalPlayer is only accessible in LocalScripts. What you are doing is utilizing an event that provides the player object. So you would need to find some way to get a hold of the player through what ever event you need to use. https://scriptinghelpers.org/blog/common-mistakes#ServerScripts

Regular Scripts live on the server, but there's multiple players playing. Which one is the "local player"?
