Passing player via touch event?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1
  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I’d like to be able to pass the player to the remote event fire call
  2. What is the issue?
    I cannot pass the player as an argument in the event fire call.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve tried using:
local human = player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(base.Parent)
	print(human.Name)

Code for brick that is touched (NORMAL SCRIPT)

local part = script.Parent
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.loader1
local player = game:GetService("Players")
part.Touched:Connect(function(base)

	local human = player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(base.Parent)
	print(human.Name)
	--remoteEvent:FireClient(human)

	
	
end)

Code for GUI event/onFireEvent event (LOCAL SCRIPT)

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.loader1
local frame = script.Parent
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local targetPos = UDim2.new(0.158, 0, 0.784, 0)
	local info = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
	local tween = tweenService:Create(
		frame,
		info,
		{Position = targetPos}
	)
end)

I get the error that “human” isn’t a player but the code says otherwise, I’m quite confused and have no clue what to do.

Edit: I think the problem is that the Touched is detecting the character model instead of its children. You might wanna do some sanity checks…

when you fire a remote event from the client, it automatically receives a player argument.

Try this:

part.Touched:Connect(function(base)
        if base.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local human = game.Players:FindFirstChild(base.Parent.Name)
    end
end)

maybe I interpreted it wrong… but I don’t think it will detect the players character instead of the players arm leg etc

Yea might need some checks.

local part = script.Parent
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.loader1
local player = game:GetService("Players")
part.Touched:Connect(function(base)

	local human = player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(base.Parent)

	if human then -- human should be nil if GetPlayerFrom....() doesn't obtain a Player so code proceeds
		print(human.Name)
		--remoteEvent:FireClient(human)
	end

add a check to see if it is a player or not
such as

local part = script.Parent
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.loader1
local players = game:GetService("Players")

part.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
  local char = otherPart.Parent
  local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
  if char and humanoid then
    local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
    if player then
      print(player.Name)
      --whatever else you wanna do
    end
  end
end)

there is a possibility that it is touching other parts which why it returns errors
