How to find local player in workspace?
I'm here again, and I'm sure that somebody that is actually good at coding, unlike me, will be able to figure this out:
What I'm trying to do is find the players name in workspace. I'm attempting at making a script that increases the size of your head and I got that part down, but what I need help is locating the player in workspace. What I have is:
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name print(char) local wsc = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(char) print(wsc)
The first function thing works great and prints out the players name, but when I try to find the player in workspace it just says nil. If anyone can help me out it will be greatly appreciated

Firstly, you're trying to print out an object in line 5. Also, just do this:
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
You can try printing the name of the character by doing:
print(char.Name)
