I have a folder in the workspace that i want to reference. The folder is named "Player" Stand. For ex, mcslimeman Stand. I alsohave a variable that is named folder, shown below
local folder = (playerstring..stand)
playerstring is the name of the player, and stand is just " Stand". Can I do local "name" = workspace.folder, so in theory, it would act like workspace.player Stand?
I don't exactly understand what you're trying to do but if you're trying to find something in the workspace, that probably would work.
For example, I have a model in the workspace called "PhantomBlox27 Stand" and I have a variable of the player name, I could find it by doing this:
local stand = workspace[playerName.. " ".. "Stand"]

First of all, thanks, it worked. I just have some remanding questions. why do we use [] instead of like () or .?
I haven't read up on that but I'm assuming it treats the workspace as like an array, so workspace["Part"] would be finding something in the workspace called Part, you can also use workspace:FindFirstChild(playerName.. " ".. "Stand") if you want.
