How to access character in workspace?
I'm attempting to create a game where you press a button and it changes the size of your players head using the headscale value. So far what I've got is
1 | function KeyPress(input, gameProcessed) |
2 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then |
3 | game.Workspace._____________________??? |
4 | end |
5 | end |
6 |
7 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(KeyPress) |
what I need help is with how do you get to your player in workspace?

With local scripts, you have access to the LocalPlayer, which you can get with
1 | --LocalScript |
2 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
With any player instance, you can get their character with
1 | local character = plr.Character |
2 | --Or alternatively... |
3 | local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character |
So your code would be...
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local character = plr.Character |
3 | function KeyPress(input, gameProcessed) |
4 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then |
5 | char.Head.Size = --put size here or somethin |
6 | end |
7 | end |
8 |
9 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(KeyPress) |
Unless you wanted to use workspace...
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | function KeyPress(input, gameProcessed) |
3 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then |
4 | game.Workspace[plr.Name].Head |
5 | end |
6 | end |
Hope this helps!
