Is it possible to access the player's character through a Server Script?

Hi, I’m AE_TG, and I would like to ask if you can access the player’s character from a server script. I’m trying to make an ability for a small project which the player’s HumanoidRootPart is covered by particles and essentially covering the whole body. However, I forgot that you cannot access the LocalPlayer from a script and so I’m trying to find out how I can without LocalPlayer. I am using RemoteEvents, but I believe you cannot pass the player in arguments on the OnServer() event (please correct me if I’m wrong). Help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Funny thing, the first parameter of OnServerEvent is the player who actually fired the event LOL

Cannot find the model in model in the script

The Player that activated a RemoteEvent is always implicitly/automatically sent through as the first argument when activating it from the client. Since this allows you to have a reference to the Player, you can access their Character:

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end)
