How do you get the player from the character model?
If you have the character model of a player then what is the best way to get the player? I know that you can say:
game.Players:FindFirstChild(character_model.Name)
but is there another better way to do this in?

There's an actual function for this, :GetPlayerFromCharacter(character).
The parameter is the character instance you want to use to get to the character.
For example, a touched part:
01 | local plrs = game.Players |
02 |
03 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
04 | local plr = plrs:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
05 | if plr then |
06 | print("Player"..plr.Name) |
07 | elseif not plr then |
08 | print("Player not found. Hit is something else.") |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | end) |

If it is a tool you can get the character like this:
1 | tool = script.Parent -- if the script is inside the tool |
2 | local character = tool.Parent -- if the tool is equipped, it will be in the character |
3 |
4 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) -- A pre-build function made by Roblox to get the player from the character (local character). |
If you want to get the player from a part:
1 | local part = script.Parent --Script's parent is a part if the script is inside that part |
2 | local plr = game.Players -- Players service |
3 |
4 | part.Touched:Connect(function(touch) -- function to check is something touched the part |
5 | local character = touch.Parent --The object that touched the part |
6 | local player = plr:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) |
7 | --your code if you need it |
8 | end) |
