How do you use player in a non-local script?
I know there are some ways like:
for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
end
--------------------------------
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- Never works.
Need it for this script.
local VIP = require(script.Parent);
local debounce = false;
local market = game:GetService("MarketplaceService");
local ID = VIP.infromation.vipID;
VIP.infromation.obj.portal.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = nil;-- What do I put here>
if market:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,ID) then
if not debounce then debounce = true
if hit.Parent.Character ~= nil then
hit.Parent.Character:moveTo(VIP.infromation.obj.enter.front)
wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end
end
end)

I changed local player = nil; to local player = hit.Parent:GetPlayerFromCharacter() but it does not work. namespace25 594 — 5y

You use GetPlayerFromCharacter on the Players service and place the character inside of the parenthesis. xPolarium 1388 — 5y

It would have to be an if conditional statement if you wanted that. Is this script in a part? Then “if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then” ABK2017 406 — 5y

No you still need to reference game.Players for it to work xxcoordinatorxx 135 — 5y

So there are a variety of ways of doing this, but probably the most common ways are:
1) the use of remote events' FireServer() function and the OnServerEvent() event
--local script
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
remote:FireServer()
--server script
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local player
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
...
end)
2) the use of the :GetPlayerFromCharacter() function
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr then
...
end
end)
3) the PlayerAdded event
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
...
end
4) the PlayerRemoving event
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
...
end
5) indexing a player in the list of players
local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers() local plr = plrs[math.random(1,#plrs)]

Easy!
Make a Local Script or use RemoteEvents :)

I don't think it is a good idea to put a local script in a part and state the Touched event. namespace25 594 — 5y
