local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = game:WaitForChild(Players[script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value])
The Value is a string value containing the player's name. but the error i'm getting says that preston1196 is not a valid member of Players. So it can't find my username in the Players.
I did a bit of messing around and found out a space got into the string and thats what caused it not to find it.
You're doing game:WaitForChild(...)
You should do
local player = Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value)
Instead
That just gets me a infinite yield.
I assume that "Value" is a StringValue
The problem is Value is a Property, so use :WaitForChild()
Try either one
local player = Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Value").Value)
The First one gives me a infinite yield and the second one just dosen't find it.
did you at least make sure script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value has a value?

is this on a LocalScript or a Script?
Local Script.
and you are getting the Player that the LocalScript is on?
No
rather than the second line you should try to use Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value)
