ServerScriptService.Script:5: attempt to index upvalue 'player' (a nil value)?
I am running this script where it checks is a player has this user id so it will teleport them somewhere else. I run this script and the output says that the UserId property for a LocalPlayer doesn't exist.
local player= game.Players.LocalPlayer
local function isowner()
if player.UserID==263105732 then
player.Position= game.Workspace.spawn
else
local fire= Instance.new("Fire",player)
for i= 0,100,1 do
player.Character.Humanoid.Health= player.Character.Humanoid.Health - 1
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(isowner)
Any reason why? I am positive that I did everything correct.

is this a localscript? if not, you'll have to get the identity of the player simply by checking when they join and getting that player (as a "local" or variable) speedyfox66 237 — 4y

This isn't a localscript, but I might as well try putting it in there. I will put your answer into consideration too. Cyroxite 46 — 4y

The only logical explanation that I can think of is that you were using a regular script. Meaning that it executes server sided code. However Service Players's Property LocalPlayer can only have a value if it's referenced from the client side (by using a local script). So since LocalPlayer is client sided, a regular script will substitute it with nil.
To fix your problem, event PlayerAdded has a parameter where it's the player that joined. Use instead:
local function isowner(player)-- this is the player that joined.
if player.UserID==263105732 then
player.Position= game.Workspace.spawn
else
local fire= Instance.new("Fire",player)
for i= 0,100,1 do
player.Character.Humanoid.Health= player.Character.Humanoid.Health - 1
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(isowner)
