How can I get Character from ServerScript?

[Auevi]

1. What do you want to achieve?
   When the player triggers the ProximityPrompt, it fires the event from the ServerScript to the Client.

2. What is the issue?
   I get this error:

Workspace.Model.DoorC1.Prox.ProximityPrompt.Script:8: attempt to index nil with 'PlayerGui' 

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   I’ve tried using

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

but to the best of my knowledge, that only works for LocalScripts, not ServerScripts.

ProximityPrompt ServerScript:

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(prompt)
	script.Sound:Play()
	
	local character = prompt.Parent
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
			local playergui = player["PlayerGui"]
			local textbox = playergui.Fade.Transition
			--textbox.Text = text
			print("fade triggered")
			textbox.Fader:FireClient(player)
	
end)

The thing you have named prompt is the actual player instance and character is not a parent of the player.

Triggered returns the player instance, so just do prompt.Character

You can not access LocalPlayer unless you are using a LocalScript (or ModuleScript accessed by a LocalScript).

Luckily, the Triggered event already passes the player, so you can change your code to this:

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	script.Sound:Play()
	
	local character = prompt.Parent
	local playergui = player["PlayerGui"]
	local textbox = playergui.Fade.Transition
	--textbox.Text = text
	print("fade triggered")
	textbox.Fader:FireClient(player)
end)

(See ProximityPrompt.Triggered for more information.)
