How to Use LocalPlayer in non-local script?

Asked by

local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local status = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("StatusValue")

local meat = game.Players.LocalPlayer

while true do
    for i = 10,0,-1 do
    status.Value = "Intermission:"..i
    wait(1)
    end
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
game.Players.LocalPlayer:LoadCharacter()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
    for i = 120,0,-1 do
    status.Value = "Game In Progress:"..i
    wait(1)
    end
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("White")
game.Players.LocalPlayer:LoadCharacter()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("White")
    end

So, this code controls the round times and teleporting players away from and to the map. The Red team is in the game, and the white team is in the lobby. When it changes the players team, it resets them afterwards, basically teleoprting them to a diffrent spawn point.

The problem here is that This is the the serverscriptservice and in a normal script. How can i acheive something similar to .Localplayer in a non-local script?

It is possible... But it's about what the script need to do. In your loop it's Not Possible! MineJulRBX 52 — 7y

And you use LocalPlayer only. You need to make it "FindFirstChild" else it don't know who it's need to find. If you just use LocalPlayer it takes the first player it find but it can't find anyone. Not without "FindFirstChild" MineJulRBX 52 — 7y

Loop through each player in the game and run the code on each of them like so:

local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local status = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("StatusValue")

while true do
    for i = 10,0,-1 do
        status.Value = "Intermission:"..i
        wait(1)
    end
    for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
        plr:LoadCharacter()
    end
    for i = 120,0,-1 do
        status.Value = "Game In Progress:"..i
        wait(1)
    end
    for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("White")
        plr:LoadCharacter()
    end
end
