GetPlayerFromCharacter
For thread safety, this property is not safe to read in an unsynchronized thread.
This function returns the Player associated with the given Player/Character, or nil if one cannot be found. It is equivalent to the following function:
local function getPlayerFromCharacter(character)
for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
if player.Character == character then
return player
end
end
end
This method is often used when some event in player’s character fires (such as their Humanoid Humanoid/Died|dying). Such an event might not directly reference the Player object, but this method provides easy access. The inverse of this function can be described as getting the Character of a Player. To do this, simply access the Character property.
