Maximize Efficiency When Getting Character from GUIs?
Instead of having to do
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character
in a gui to get the player, is there another method which is more efficient?

This is in a server script so I cannot do game.Players.LocalPlayer INOOBE_YT 387 — 7y

All scripts in the PlayerGui should be local, so therefore you can use LocalPlayer.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(): This will make sure the character has loaded.

I mention he shouldn't use a Regular Script in PlayerGui/StarterGui. OldPalHappy 1477 — 7y
