How do you select your character without using a LocalScript?
How do I select my character without using a LocalScript but by using a normal Script, I need this so I can select the HumanoidRootPart and get the position of it. The script is in Workspace btw.

What are you trying to do? Teleport the players? GIassWindows 141 — 6y

No I'm trying to get the player's position so I can get the distance between the player and a part. I know how to get the position between 2 parts in Workspace but not between 1 part and the player. ShiforRBLX 5 — 6y

get the name of the player somehow first, then simply select it.
the character model is server-sided, so both local and normal scripts can access it
local playermodel = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(NAME)
then for the root's position:
local pos = playermodel.PrimaryPart.CFrame
put a .p at the end of the code mentioned above if you would prefer a vector3 or put .Position

I don't get why you don't want to use a localscript but ok.
LocalScript:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
ServerScript:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
end
