Does anyone have any idea for how I can get "player"?

Hey Roblox devs. I have a teleport system in my game and I was adding player data for when the player teleports, but I came across a problem.

local function teleportPlayers()
	if #list > 0 then
		billboard.Frame.Status.Text = "TELEPORTING"
		billboard.Frame.Status.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
		local playersToTeleport = {}

-- This part 🡣
		local TPdata = {
			Coins = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value,
			XP = player.leaderstats.XP.Value,
			Level = player.Level.Value,
			Rank = player.Rank.Value,
			BlackoutLevel = player.GunLevels.BlackoutLevel.Value,
			MP7Level = player.GunLevels.MP7Level.Value,
			campaignLevel = player.campaignLevel.Value,
			CurrentObjective = player.CurrentObjective.Value,
		}
		local teleportTime = 0
		for i=1,#list do
			if game.Players:findFirstChild(list[i]) then
				table.insert(playersToTeleport,game.Players:findFirstChild(list[i]))
				TransitionEvent:FireClient(game.Players:findFirstChild(list[i]))
			else
				table.remove(list,i)	
			end
		end 
		
		local code = TS:ReserveServer(placeId)
		teleporting = true

		TS:TeleportToPrivateServer(placeId, code, playersToTeleport, nil, TPdata)
		repeat wait() until #list <= 0
		billboard.Frame.Status.Text = "READY"
		billboard.Frame.Status.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
		teleporting = false
	end
end

this is the function that is supposed to teleport the player to another place, if there are players in the teleport zone. This function is kept in a while loop, so I won’t be able to add any built in functions or parameters without changing the entire thing, which I don’t have the time or patience for. The problem is, where you see the variable “Tpdata”, “player” is not being defined anywhere, and I don’t know how to define it.

Is there any simple way of getting the player, or should I have to change a lot of my scipt? If I would have to add some parameters then feel free to let me know, I can show my full script if its needed.

Is the script a Local script? if so add this variable

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

The problem comes a little complex if you do the server you have some ways to get them from the Server

  • Loops
for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
-- the Player is here.
end
  • Player Added
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()

end
  • Remote events (there are lots of way to do it with remote events, here is one)
local Player = nil -- add this in variables

Once the Remote events get Fired to the sever do this

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerThatFired)
PlayerThatFired = Player
end)

After that you could use the Player

PlayerAdded with the player as the parameter (i think its called)

It’s a server script

aaaaaaaaa

PlayerAdded or remotes thennnn

6

Would I place it in the function?

7

Please read, I’ve said how you would get the Player from the server to.

8

Well the function would be INSIDE the PlayerAdded function

9

well how would I access that function outside of the playeradded?
