How would I find the play that touched the brick?

You're referring to the "Touched" event. The event 'passes on' the part that touched it to the connected function. One way to get the player, given the player's character, would be to use the "GetPlayerFromCharacter" method. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=GetPlayerFromCharacter

Character is the hit so script.Parent.Touched:connect(hit) game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit) --code end)

hit a common parameter in a .Touched event. It is the brick that touched that brick in order to trigger the function. If a character hits it with their limbs, hit.Parent would mean their character, no? Have to do a check, because that won't always be a character: if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild ('Humanoid') then game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter (hit.Parent)

--Example that covers everything; Brick = game.Workspace.Part --Change this to the brick path example would be the scripts parent (script.Parent) Brick.Touched:connect(function(hit) Hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") if (Hum ~= nil) then Char = hit.Parent Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Char) --Continue what you want to do end end) --Hope that explains it...
