How does one find the Player in "Players" without using a local script?
So for this basic example, I am trying to print out the Players ClassName.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(player)
print(game.Players.player.ClassName)
end)
From what I believe this script should print "Player", but instead I get the Error from the Output " player is not a valid member of Players". So how would I go about locating the Player in "Players" through a regular script? Answers appreciated, Thank You.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(player)
z = player.Parent:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
print(z.ClassName)
end)
:GetPlayerFromCharacter() Helps.
+1 if helped.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) --It was hit by a part...
possiblename = hit.Parent.Name --So we can find if the hitting part is a player or not.
if game.Player:FindFirstChild(possiblename) then
--I guess the name is possible.
player = game.Player:FindFirstChild(possiblename) --Do what you like to the guy.
end

The top 2 people were on the right track, but didn't complete theirs.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
z =game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
print(z.ClassName) -- I have a problem with this. Is this a leaderstat? Because it's not a direct child of player. Or is it?

So I tried expanding upon this with adding a KeyDown event, in which when the player is on the part and presses a certain key, an event will happen. I got a script that worked in Play Solo, but not Start Server. Xduel 211 — 10y
