There's a few methods
From a ClickDetector:
1 | workspace.Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(plr) |
2 | local char = plr.Character |
3 | --Do whatever |
4 | end) |
From a Touched Event:
1 | workspace.Part.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
2 | if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then |
3 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
4 | local char = plr.Character |
5 | --Do whatever |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
Grabbing it on the player joining the game:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | repeat wait() until plr.Character |
3 | local char = plr.Character |
4 | --Do whatever |
5 | end) |
Or if you know the players name:
1 | local char = workspace['Player1'] |
Here are some links to some helpful wiki articles:
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/ClickDetector
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/Players/PlayerAdded
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/BasePart/Touched
game.Players."PlayerName".Character This points to the character of the "PlayerName"
so you can do something like this (I will be the example):
1 | local player = game.Players.Rafii2198.Character |
2 | player.Humanoid.NameDisplayDistance = 55 |
3 | player.HumanoidRootPart.Position = player.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0,10,0) |
This will change the distance that other players will see my name to 55 (default is 100) and move me 10 studs up.

Player has a property called Character. Indexing this property will return the player's associated character.
