How would I get the local player from a script, not a local script?
I made a script that has a bunch of global's and I want to know if it is possible to get the player from a regular script because, my script works in a regular script only and doesn't in a local but, I am using local player, so Idk where to start.. Any help..?

You can't use LocalPlayer in a server script because server scripts can't do anything related to the client. R_alatch 394 — 6y

you can use remoteevents or other events to get the player you want Filipalla 504 — 6y

You get the player when you use Events.
to get the player from the Touched event, you do:
brick.Touched:Connect(function(limb) -- Touched returns the part that touched "brick"
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(limb.Parent)
if player then
player.Character:BreakJoints() -- kills character
player.leaderstats.Points.Value = 1000 -- sets value to 1000
end
end)
to get the player from a ClickDetector, do:
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player) -- MouseClick returns the player that clicked
player.Character:BreakJoints()
player.leaderstats.Points.Value = 1000
end)
note that the arguments can be named anything

Short answer: nope.
Long answer: Since normal scripts are made to act in the server,there is no way a script can get the local player. Only local scripts can do that because they are made to act in the client.
