How to get player from script?

I just want to know how I would find the player to locate leaderstats so I can add money to the player everytime the npc dies.

local Enemy = script.Parent.Humanoid
function KillForXp() 
	local tag = Enemy:findFirstChild("creator") 
	if tag ~= nil then 
		if tag.Value ~= nil then 
				local leader = tag.Value:FindFirstChild("Quest")
				if leader.Type.Value == 1 then
					if leader ~= nil then
						leader.Amount.Value = leader.Amount.Value + 1
						
				end 
			end 
		end
	end
end 
Enemy.Died:connect(KillForXp)

Unfortunately this is something you’d have to integrate directly into the scripts for your tools. Humanoid damage isn’t tied to any specific player by default.

Try this one it will find the player and its leaderstats as what youve said:

local Enemy = script.Parent.Humanoid
function KillForXp() 
	local tag = Enemy:findFirstChild("creator") 
	if tag ~= nil then 
		if tag.Value ~= nil then 
                            local plr = game.Players[tag.Value] ---find the player
                            if plr then --lets be sure it find the player
				local leader = plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Quest") --pretty sure quest is found in player leaderstats
				if leader.Type.Value == 1 then
					if leader ~= nil then
						leader.Amount.Value = leader.Amount.Value + 1
					end
				end 
			end 
		end
	end
end 
Enemy.Died:connect(KillForXp)
