If this is obvious, don't laugh at me, because I haven't learned the function/keyword/statement/method/whatever yet, obviously.
How do I tell which player is holding a tool?

How can I get the player holding a tool?

✓ Accepted answer
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Equipped:connect(function()
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character) -- Returns the player's object
print(Player)
end)
Tested and works.
The easiest way is to check all the players characters and using "FindFirstChild". If it's in a server script, you'd want to do
for _,character in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
if character:FindFirstChild("ToolName") then
print('Found Tool') -- and place whatever you want here
end
end
There are other methods, but this is the first that comes to mind. Hope that helps!
