How to find a player from a function?
Hello, fellow Lua users. I am quite new to Roblox scripting and I would want to ask you how can you find a player that clicked an object. For example, I tried this method: ...MouseButton1Down:connect(function(plr) plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plr). This did not really work out.
Here is the full script if you want to look at it
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(c)
local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(c)
if plr.PlayerGui.CarName.Value == "power" then
script.Parent.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
local clone = game.ServerStorage["2011 F-250 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke"]:Clone()
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
end
end)
I hope this question was understandable enough with my lack of English.

As luke said, 'c' would be the player. So FindFirstChild() to get the player is useless, as the player is 'c'. I would say the error is with 'local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(c)' The argument for FindFirstChild() is a string, and you are feeding it an object. Other than that, seems fine.

Using FindFirstChild is completely useless as MouseClick returns the player object located under game.Players
