I usually have used game.Players.LocalPlayer while I'm trying to connect to the player from workspace. While this for some reason only works in - studio. If you could I would really like some other way to connect to the player.

game.Players.LocalPlayer only works in a local script. Anyway there is another way to get the player. You could use the function :GetPlayerFromCharacter() In the () you put the character of the player. For example :
local tool = script.Parent --tool
local char = tool.Parent --the player's character
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char) -- this get the player that has this tool
Remember you can use :GetPlayerFromCharacter() for anything, it doesn't have to be a tool.

The LocalPlayer is only accessible in
LocalScripts. Are you trying to use it in a server script?
