You can't get LocalPlayer from ServerScript. Maybe you should use PlayerAdded event which is have a Player instance. https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/event/Players/PlayerAdded

You cannot call the local Player from a ServerScript, as it is designed to operate as a Server instruction and not a Client—meaning it doesn’t have a Player Object to link to. You cannot use a LocalScript in this situation either as it is unable to gain access to SeverStorage due to FE regulations. To solve your issue, use a .PlayerAdded event to clone to the Hat to each character and Player upon joining.

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players”)

local Hat = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("RBT")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        Hat:Clone().Parent = Character 
    end)
end)

Try put the hat in ServerStorage. Use a local script in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts and make all of the objects a variable:

local char = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer local hat = game:GetService("ServerStorage").RBT local a = hat:Clone() a.Parent = char (and for the head if it is a hat do char.Head)
