There’s a API for that Players:GetPlayerFromTheCharacter()

You can make it so when the Dummy is touched or the Dummy touches something, you can get the Parent of what hit it and use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter() on that Parent to detect if the dummy has touched a player

The way you can do this can depend on what is needed, you can probably have a hitbox around the dummy (which is just an invisible canCollide false part around the dummy) that does something if whatever touched was a Player’s character, or other methods, but the general idea is to use the method of the Player’s service as it would return the Player instance if what touched was the Player’s Character, or nil if it wasn’t a Player’s character
