Hello, i have an issue with a script. I want to get a specific team of a person that steps on a block to add on a value, The issue is that i cannot get the team of the player, i get the error “Team is not a valid member of Part Workspace.giorgos2020_new.Left Leg(or Right Leg)”

ive tried searching for any solutions here but could not find any. here is the current script:

local siCount = game.Workspace.Values.AmountofSI_inRestraunt
local FDACount = game.Workspace.Values.AmountofFDA_inRestraunt

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr.Team ~= "Safety Inspector" or "FDA Agent" then return end
	if plr.Team == "Safety Inspector" then
		siCount += 1
	end
	if plr.Team == "FDA Agent" then
		FDACount += 1
	end

end)

i appreciate any help and feedback, thanks!

.Touched does not return a player, it returns the part that touched it

Nothing different, youll just need to get the player from the part. Which if you look it up there are plenty of tutorials on it that will probably explain it better than me

According to this post, you can use the part’s parent → get the player’s model (character) → get the player

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        -- do stuff
    end
end)

@giorgos2020_new Edit (for more clarity compared to cited post’s code)

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local character = hit.Parent
    local player = PlayersService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
    if player then

		-- Your code about the team stuff here. 
		-- I made some optimizations for your code too.
		if plr.Team == "Safety Inspector" then
			siCount += 1
		elseif plr.Team == "FDA Agent" then
			FDACount += 1
		end
    end
end)

Like what the people below me have said, .touched only returns a part, not a player.
Second of all, the Team value of the player is an object, not a string, and you are checking if the team (object) is equal to a string. Instead, check if the plr.Team.Name == "team name".
