What I am trying to do is to get the player to move to a position when it touches a part. This is the script I used
workspace.Custom.Touched:connect(function(hit) local pos = game.Workspace.Spot.Position game.Players.LocalPlayer:MoveTo(pos)
end)
It says MoveTo isn't a valid member of Player, what do I replace it with?
What you need to do is get the character of the player:
workspace.Custom.Touched:connect(function(hit) local pos = game.Workspace.Spot.Position game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:MoveTo(pos)
end)
LocalPlayer can't be accessed in a normal script, but you can use the GetPlayerFromCharacter method to obtain who hit the brick. Start good practices now, like DRY (Don't repeat anything) and index variables before you need them.
local custom = workspace:WaitForChild("Custom")
-- You only need to index Spot's position once, unless it moves.
local pos = workspace:WaitForChild("Spot").Position
-- connect is deprecated, use Connect.
custom.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
-- Check to see if hit.Parent is a valid member of players
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player and player.Character then
local hum = player.Character:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
-- Make sure we aren't dead
if hum and hum.Health > 0 then
player.Character:MoveTo(pos)
end
end
end)

That wouldn't work because of LocalPlayer.
Why would it not work? What do you mean? I added .Character to the LocalPlayer which gets its character.
Because LocalPlayer can't be accessed from a normal script and you shouldn't use a LocalScript with this type of script, else anyone that touches the brick is going to cause the client to teleport.
Apparently he did use a LocalScript.
