How to get player from server script?

my attempt
1 | local plr = game.Players:WaitForChild("Player") |
2 | print(plr.Name) |
this waits forever until it yields ;'/

Try this. I haven’t tested it yet.
Good luck.
1 | Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 | for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do |
3 | print(player.Name) |
4 | end |

To get a player you do:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) —gets player |
2 | —code |
3 | end) |

If you know the name of the player you're going to be looking for just do
1 | for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
2 | if v.Name == "NameOfWhoYouWant" then |
3 | --Code you want to use |
4 |
5 | break --So it stops since you already found who you want |
6 | end |
7 | end |
