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
script.Parent.Touced:Connect(function()
so i'm using a regular script, but i don't know how to address the player without using
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
because that only works with local scripts.
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:
function getPlayerFromCharacter(descendant)
for _, Player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do -- Iterates through a list of all Players
if descendant:IsDescendantOf(Player.Character) then -- Checks if the Player the for loop is currently at's Character has Hit as a descendant
return Player -- Returns the Player
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
local Player = getPlayerFromCharacter(Hit)
if Player then
--Insert your code here
end
end)
Don't forget to mark my answer as the solution and upvote it if it answered your question :)
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.
That is not related to getting the Player so you are gonna have to ask a new question for that
okay
Also, don't forget to mark the answer that helped you the most as the solution so that people know this has been solved
Here you go
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(plr) -- the plr between the parameters is a part that came in contact with the part.
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr.Parent)
if player then
--enter script here
end
end)
Hope this helps
