Help with "PlayerObjects" in remoteEvents

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I want a part that when you touch it, the FOV changes, but only for that player. I made this basic script to test the function, and I can’t get it to work.

Here is the sever script:

local db = false
local FOV = game.ReplicatedStorage.FOV
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit, player)
	local hitT = hit.Parent:GetChildren()
	for i,v in pairs(hitT) do
		if v:IsA("Humanoid") then
			if not db then
				db = true
				v.WalkSpeed = 32
				FOV:FireClient(player)
				script.Parent:Destroy()
				wait(5)
				v.WalkSpeed = 16
				db = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

Whenever I touch it, I get an error:
FireClient: player argument must be a player object

I don’t know why this is happening, is there a way to get player using hit, then use that for the player there?

:pensive: There’s only the hit parameter, you can’t add another parameter inside the Touched event

However, you can get the Player by getting the Player’s Character using the GetPlayerFromCharacter function like so:

local db = false
local FOV = game.ReplicatedStorage.FOV
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Character = hit.Parent
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)

    if Player and not db then
        db = true
        Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 32
        FOV:FireClient(Player)
        wait(5)
        db = false
        Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    end
end)

hit.Parent would be referring to the Player’s Character Model in this Instance, and we can check if it’s a valid player or not & if the debounce is still equal to false

Thank you, I recently added the player parameter just to test, and I went with it. Thank you, now I just need to tween it and add sounds! (I can tween it btw)
