How to get the Player's Character From a serverScript?

✓ Accepted answer
There's a few methods
From a ClickDetector:
workspace.Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(plr)
local char = plr.Character
--Do whatever
end)
From a Touched Event:
workspace.Part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local char = plr.Character
--Do whatever
end
end)
Grabbing it on the player joining the game:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr.Character
local char = plr.Character
--Do whatever
end)
Or if you know the players name:
local char = workspace['Player1']
Here are some links to some helpful wiki articles:

^ Thanks :)
game.Players."PlayerName".Character This points to the character of the "PlayerName"
so you can do something like this (I will be the example):
local player = game.Players.Rafii2198.Character
player.Humanoid.NameDisplayDistance = 55
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.

Everything about that is on Roblox Developer site https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/Player
Player has a property called Character. Indexing this property will return the player's associated character.

You can't access LocalPlayer from a server script
