Hey, i made this script for fire to a player only
But its giving me this error

FireClient: player argument must be a Player object

This is my script

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.TimeToOpenDoor
local Sensor = script.Parent.Sensor
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Sensor.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
remote:FireClient(plr)
end)

Is this a regular script or a localscript? Judging from the error, it’s a regular script. You can’t use LocalPlayer in a regular script, you need to get the player differently, which is simple, GetPlayerFromCharacter

Try this

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.TimeToOpenDoor
local Sensor = script.Parent.Sensor

Sensor.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if not plr then return end
	remote:FireClient(plr)
end)

You can’t access a Local Player from a server script, also you might want to do some checks inside that touched event or you would just be spamming the client.
