To call on a player in the Roblox workspace, you can use the Players service and the Player object. Here’s an example of how you can do this:

  1. First, make sure you have a reference to the Players service. You can do this by adding local Players = game:GetService("Players") at the top of your script.
  2. Next, you can use the Players object to get a reference to a specific player. For example, you can use the Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter function to get the player object for a character that is currently in the game:
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
  1. You can also use the Players object to get a list of all players in the game, or to find a player by their user ID or name. For example:
-- Get a list of all players in the game
local allPlayers = Players:GetPlayers()

-- Find a player by their user ID
local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(12345)

-- Find a player by their name
local player = Players:GetPlayerByName("PlayerName")

Once you have a reference to a player object, you can use its properties and functions to interact with the player. For example, you can use the player.Name property to get the player’s name, or you can use the player:LoadCharacter() function to load the player’s character into the game.

Expanding on @esadams188’s amazing response, if you have the player object which is found under players you can simply call .Character to get the player’s character from their playerObject.

And when you are attempting to get the playerObject from the Character you can use Player Service to get the player from their character.

game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

I think esadams188 did an amazing job explaining it intially i would just like to bring up the .Character value in the playerObject.

The Workspace is a special container for parts and other objects. The player can be referred to as game.Players.LocalPlayer.
If you want to get the player through a script, you can use the PlayerAdded event on the Players service.
local player = nil

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
player = p
end)

The player can be referred to as player in the same script.
