How would I get the local player from a script, not a local script?

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

Now gotta check if it works in a server
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.

You can't use LocalPlayer in a server script because server scripts can't do anything related to the client.
You cannot. How would it know what player you want?
you can use remoteevents or other events to get the player you want
