I'm trying to freeze a single player that steps on a platform but it freezes all players, I can't seem to get it working.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
--testing
workspace.TestPad.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
LocalPlayer.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
end)
Server scripts can't use LocalPlayer since they are server sided and not client sided. Instead of using LocalPlayer.
We can find the player by using what put in the parentheses after the .Touched function.
Make sure this is in a server script in either the Workspace or ServerScriptService.
workspace.TestPad.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --Begin the function when the pad was touched
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then --If the part that touched the pad's parent (the player) has a humanoid then
hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true --If it does then anchor the player
end
end)
If this helped then please accept the answer.

you cant use localplayer in a script, u can only use it in localscripts, this is how u would fix ur script: game.Workspace.TestPad.Touched:Connect(function(Hit) if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then Hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true end end)
it is a localscript
it is supposed to be a script, i sent u a friend request if u need more assistance, the name is StudioLegacy, and by the way the script should be in serverscriptservice or workspace

Server scripts are unable to access LocalPlayer since they are ServerSided. This means they don't know who the LocalPlayer is.
