How would I make this TeamColor script not be run locally in a regular script?

for i,v in pairs(model.PlayersTouching:GetChildren()) do
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
		player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Sea green")
end

How would I make this script in a regular script not be run locally? The PlayersTouching is a table model inside a model that creates a list inside of itself of all the players touching the model which works perfectly fine. But I need all the players in that table to get their team changed and I've been struggling to figure out how to not do it locally. Help?

LocalPlayer can only be accessed by a LocalScript. Note that a LocalScript should only ever be a descendant of a player and never anything else. It just won't work.

If the table is a list of the player objects then just do v.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Sea green") because v will be each player already because of the loop. If it is a list of the players names just do:

local players = game:GetService("Players")-- the recommended method for getting services like players 
for i,v in pairs(model.PlayersTouching:GetChildren()) do
	local player = players:FindFirstChild(v) -- returns the player object from players after finding the player with v as their name
end

If the list is a list of the parts touching the model then do this:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
for i,v in pairs(model.PlayersTouching:GetChildren()) do
	if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- if it is a players body part touching then
		players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v.Parent)
	end
end

Hope this helps and have a great day scripting!
