How do you use a non-localplayer in a script?
I'm scripting a morpher so that when someone steps on it they morph into that character. I think it needs to be a regular script to do
1 | script.Parent.Touced:Connect(function() |
so i'm using a regular script, but i don't know how to address the player without using
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
because that only works with local scripts.

besides this you can use player added function. hallmk7 50 — 5y

Why it's better to do it this way:
Grainless_Bread's answer will work in most cases but this will work as long as Hit is a descendant of the Player whereas his only works if the Character is the immediate Parent of Hit
The Solution:
01 | function getPlayerFromCharacter(descendant) |
02 | for _, Player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do -- Iterates through a list of all Players |
03 | if descendant:IsDescendantOf(Player.Character) then -- Checks if the Player the for loop is currently at's Character has Hit as a descendant |
04 | return Player -- Returns the Player |
05 | end |
06 | end |
07 | end |
08 |
09 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit) |
10 | local Player = getPlayerFromCharacter(Hit) |
11 | if Player then |
12 | --Insert your code here |
13 | end |
14 | end) |

it worked! one problem: It only changed my pants, not the hair, body type or accessories, and the character im trying to morph into doesn't have a shirt (its scooby doo so its just pants a hat and skin tone) so i got the error "Shirt is not a valid member of Model" because the morph has no shirt in it. bolterazia -5 — 5y

That is not related to getting the Player so you are gonna have to ask a new question for that Filipalla 504 — 5y

Here you go
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(plr) -- the plr between the parameters is a part that came in contact with the part. |
2 | local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr.Parent) |
3 |
4 | if player then |
5 | --enter script here |
6 |
7 | end |
8 | end) |
Hope this helps
