GetPlayerFromCharacter not working with no reason as to why?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA('Model') and v:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') and player.Character ~= v then
		print(v, v.Name)
		print(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v))	
		local gui = creatBlip(v.Name)
		table.insert(parts, {v.HumanoidRootPart, gui})
	end
end

Line 3 prints Player2 Player2 (one being the character, other being their name, duh)
Line 4 however prints nil… And I am completely stumped as to why? If it’s printing v as Player2, then it should be able to get the character from Players. This is in a LocalScript btw.

Output:
nil
Player2 Player2
Player2

There’s only 2 prints in the script though…

Have you made sure v is not already the player?

Why not just iterate through the children of Players rather than the whole of workspace?

for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	if player ~= v then
		local char = v.Character
		local gui = creatBlip(char.Name)
		table.insert(parts, {char.HumanoidRootPart, gui})
	end
end

That might work better for you. :slight_smile:

I agree with @CodeSleepRepeat; you should iterate through the Players themselves instead.

As to your question: It looks like your code is working as expected. It’s printing the character model name twice on one line, and then printing the player’s name on the next line. The first nil is probably coming from some other script (unless there’s more to this script not shown).
