yes but if i want to type that into a local script i would say
local playerName = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
newBlock.Parent = game.Workspace.PlayerFolders:FindFirstChild(playerName)`
even thought my script is a SSS Script so how would i do that in a SSS Script
From the client you use a remote event or function and fire it so the server gets the data of where the block needs to be placed + the player’s instance as the first argument

Thanks thats a good way to do it also but im trying to see if i can find a simpler way lol
i already have the building system and all that i just need to change the parent of the placed building from workspace to the player personal folder
Sorry to say but that’s probably one of the easiest ways I can think, you will need to communicate with the server or else all the objects will only be on the client, which means they will be not existant on the server.
For the communication with the server you can use the RemoteEvents.

send your building system scripts

and how do i define the player
what are you talking about, you should do some reading and come back, the information has been provided… figure it out
Remote Functions and Events (roblox.com)
Roblox Client-Server Model
The player is already defined, you can just use the variable plr. As I said the first argument of RemoteEvent is the player, which is what you are looking for.
ah lol i already defined it i think idk its been 1 week since i wrote this script
okay got it i will try that thank you both i will mark it as a solution if it works
ik lol im dumb 
This is perfect its working perfectly and all the blocks are being placed organizedly in the player folders thank you so much both of y’all @kylerzong @Isaque232
Np! Make sure to mark the solution in your 2 topics so people know It’s already done 
Yeah sorry i couldn’t mark you as a solution but i will mark you on the other post
