My goal is to take the players and move them into a folder that’s in Workspace. With this code it cant find my player in workspace even when it checks for the player. The
Why don’t you loop through all of the players, and then get their character that way?

Put this code in a LocalScript inside of StarterCharacterScripts
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local WS = game.Workspace
local Folder = WS.Players -- Change Players to the name of your Folder
if Player then
script.Parent.Parent = Folder
end
That will only work on the client side, not the server side.

What do you mean? Works fine for me
You are not changing the explorer to the server side view. It works fine on the client, but the server doesn’t see it.

When you run it click here and then check if you were moved

Apologies, I am quite tired. In that case I dont think this is possible.
Workspace its self is already a “Folder” in a way so I dont see much reason in changing that
I believe it is for organization purposes
Although this is marked as solved, the only script that has been posted is clientside-only; Here’s what my game does in its CharacterAdded server script to move players into a Players model:
-- If the Player's Character loaded, re-parent it if it's not located in Players.
if _playerCharacter.Parent then
if _playerCharacter.Parent == workspace then
task.wait(1.0)
print(PlayerReference.Name .. "'s Character wasn't located in workspace.Players. It should be moved.")
_playerCharacter.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild("Players",5)
PlayerReference.Character = _playerCharacter
-- print("Its parent is now " .. _playerCharacter.Parent.Name .. ".")
end
end
There’s one good use for putting all players in a model/folder: character outlines; Highlight instances have a weird limit of 31 being used anywhere at a time, so placing that in a “players folder” gives all players an outline with just one instance.
