Hey, I’ve recently encountered a problem regarding my security scanner and I am wondering how I would access a user’s username & userId from a humanoid. like if a player walks through a part it will get the player’s username & userId maybe by a touch event?

Something like

Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local part = script.Parent

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
     if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
          local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
          local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)
          local playerName = player.Name
          local userID = player.UserId
    end
end

If you want to save that value, you could do make two stringvalues and set its Value to the playername and userID

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local part = script.Parent
local stringvalueID = script.Parent.UserIdValue
local stringplayerName = script.Parent.PlayerNameValue

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
     if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
          local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
          local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)
          local playerName = player.Name
          local userID = player.UserId
          stringplayerName = playerName
          stringvalueID.Value = userID
    end
end

local players = game:GetService('Players')

local part = -- idk

part.Touched:Connect(function(object)
  local hum = object.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
  if hum then
    local s, r = pcall(function()
      return players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hum.Parent)
    end
    if s and typeof(r) == "Instance" then
      print(r.Name) -- yes boys we got it
    end
  end
end)
