Multiple things to return from one function

What I want

I want a touch function that will return both the player that touched it, and the part that touched it. This is because I have a thing I made that needs to know if the correct tool hit it while still needing the players name.

My Example Script

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part, player)
print(player.." has touched "..part)
end

If you just want to find the player that touched the part, you can use this:

local function GetPlayerFromHit(hit)
    local player

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    end

    return player
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = GetPlayerFromHit(hit)
end)

edit: I mistyped something, but this should be fine now

I want both the part and the actual player

The part is the variable hit and the player is the variable player

Ohhh that is so smart thank you

When using it though, make sure that you check if the player exists, because it will return nil if it wasn’t a player that touched it

Local function idk()
Local x = 1
Local b = 3
Return x, b
End

Local x,b = idk()
