How do you get a player from a character?

I need to get the players backpack so that I can change a bool value in their backpack which will stop them from using their abilities.
I get no errors but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

game.ReplicatedStorage.Sand.SAV.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
    local x = Instance.new("Part")
    x.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
    x.Parent = game.Workspace
    x.Size = Vector3.new(200,200,200)
    x.CanCollide = false
    x.Anchored = true
    x.Position = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
    local db = false
    x.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

        if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then return end
            if db == false then
                db = true
                local hitp = hit.Parent:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
                local WS = hit.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
                local JH = hit.Parent.Humanoid.JumpHeight
                hit.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 1
                hit.Parent.Humanoid.JumpHeight = 0
                hitp.Backpack.Slow.Enabled = false
                wait(3)
                hit.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
                hit.Parent.Humanoid.JumpHeight = 7.2
                hitp.Backpack.Slow.Enabled = true
                db = false
        end
    end)
    wait(1)
    x:Remove()
end)

Thanks :slight_smile:

i got the player but now i have another error:
ServerScriptService.Sand.Ball:20: attempt to index boolean with ‘Enabled’

#3

i fixed this aswell but my abilities still work…
these are the lines in the abilities script:

local slowed = Player.Backpack.Slow.Value
 ... 
if slowed == true then return end

nvm, i have solved my issue and now the abilities don’t work when slowed
