Gettting, attempt to index local 'Player' (a nil value) error?
local Handle = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Handle")
Handle.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr.Parent)
if Player.Character.Humanoid then
if Player.Character ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer then
Player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
for _,i in pairs(Player.Character:GetChildren()) do
if i.BrickColor then
i.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
end
end
end
end
end)
Getting the error "Players.NAME.Backpack.Taser.LocalScript:5: attempt to index local 'Player' (a nil value)" error. I don't get why

The reason for this is quite simple. When GetPlayerFromCharacter was called on line 4, you continued to use it despite it returning nil, so the script saw it like nil.Character. In order to fix this, simply check if the player exists.
local Handle = script.Parent.Handle
Handle.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if Player then -- if Player exists
if Player.Character ~= script.Parent.Parent then
-- Assuming this is under a Tool, script.Parent.Parent is the character if the script is directly under tool
Player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
for _,i in pairs(Player.Character:GetChildren()) do
if i:IsA("BasePart") then -- If it is a part, it has a BrickColor property.
i.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
end
end
end
end
end)
