Is there any other way to define a player using a server script?

I know there is:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

but I need a command that would run every time (like when a player dies, etc) not just when the player joins. Is there anything else that can define a player like how in a local script:

game.Players.LocalPlayer

No, and I don't think you should be trying this. Use a local script. T0XN 276 — 7y

No. Scripts cannot read your mind. The script doesnt know which player to pick. The script is like "uhh should i pick InfernoExecutioner or like that guest over there? dunno.". If scripts could read your mind, scripting would be much easier.

You can move the main script or whatever script your working with into StarterCharacter.

Now inside the script you can find the player like this:

game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name)

What that does is it finds the Parents name (Which is the players name) in Players

I hope this helped
