How do I get 'player' from a touch event?
I need to access the player gui to enable a message to be displayed on their screen when they touch a part but I'm unsure how to do it. Can anyone please help?
Normally, you can access the character without a problem but I don't know how to get the player.

The GetPlayerFromCharacter function returns the Player associated with the given character.
So to get the player from a touched event you would do something like this:
local part = workspace.Part
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- part belongs to character
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
end
end)
That's it, you got your player.
Hope I helped, if you have any questions please let me kno1!
