How to call local player on server script?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#22

I am very grateful to you for your efforts and help, but unfortunately it still does not work

#23

why are you cloning the model every loop? what exactly are you trying to do?

making the player sit would be as simple as putting a local script in the button
similar to what @LaterThenDo suggested

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Seats = model.seats:GetChildren() -- this would error, what is model?

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
  for i, seat in pairs(Seats) do
    if not seat.Occupant then
      seat:Sit(Humanoid)
      Humanoid.JumpHeight = 0
      break
    end
  end
end)

Yes, I could do it through a local script but I’ve seen a lot of posts about Sit() and a lot of people have this problem that it doesn’t work in local scripts

it does work in LocalScripts fortunately

Personally, the Sit() function does not work for me in local scripts, you can check it in roblox studio

Maybe try removing the server event from the loop. Instead just make a new LocalScript in the TextButton

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if plr then
		local Seats = model.seats:GetChildren()
		for i, seat in pairs(Seats) do
			if not seat.Occupant then
				seat:Sit(plr.Character.Humanoid)
				plr.Character.Humanoid.JumpHeight = 0
				break
			end
		end
	end
end)

That would work if it does mark me as the solution. You see when you do this it automatically makes an argument called player, you just need to assign a name to it

You also dont ned to check if plr then

You don’t use the StarterGui for gui!!!

Yay! Sorry for claiming that Sit() doesn’t work in local scripts, everything actually works, I just put the local script where it doesn’t work, thank you very much for your help
