Getting the player in the workspace?

Asked by

local Lplayerid = script.Parent.Parent.User.Value
local lhum = tostring(Lplayerid)

local hum = game.Workspace.lhum.HumanoidRootPart

This is in a regular script that's why I took the player from a stringvalue. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT : Btw everything everything in the script works expect the local-player workspace part.

Could you please explain what this is for? Why does this need to be in a Server Script? xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y

It's in a regular script not in the server. 6zk8 95 — 4y

Yes, regular script, server script, same thing. I believe Server Script would be the proper term for it tho, anyway. I need some context, what is this for? xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y

If all you're trying to do is get the HumanoidRootPart from the player's Character then you can use a local script for this then use a RemoteEvent to fire the server from the localscript and use a server script to do the rest of the code if you want anything to be server sided. Example:

Local Script:


local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local Hum = character.HumanoidRootPart
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

-- Any code you want for the local script, if all the code you want to be Server-Sided then skip this

RemoteEvent:FireServer()

Server Script:


game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local character = player.Character
    local Hum = character.HumanoidRootPart

    -- Code

end)

Can you do player.Character in a server script? 6zk8 95 — 4y

Yes, but to be able to get the player you need an event. Like I did in the server script, you're getting the player that fired the RemoteEvent. xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y

You cannot use LocalPlayer inside a regular script. xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y
