Is it possible to turn an objectvalue into a string?
I know this is not a request site but I have a script that takes an object value and uses it for a location (at the bottom). I was wondering if it is physically possible to turn that value of the objectvalue into a string value. My issue is the objectvalue holds a player name but the player name is an objectvalue so I can't use it for finding a location (if this is too confusing just ask for me to explain and I will).
Well here is the code, it is pretty much pointless, you don't even need to look at it:
rewardmessage = game.Lighting.KillerReward
script.Parent.Zombie.Died:connect(function()
if script.Parent.Zombie.Health == 0 then
local killer = script.Parent.Zombie.creator
print(killer.Value)
local killervalue = Instance.new("BoolValue", script.Parent)
killervalue.Value = killer.Value
local rewardclone = rewardmessage:clone()
rewardclone.Parent = game.Players[killer.Value].PlayerGui.MainScreen
if game.Players[killer.Value].PlayerGui.MainScreen.PlayerValues.HasCoinBooster.Value == true then
rewardclone.CoinReward.Text = "+2 coins"
if game.Players[killer.Value].PlayerGui.MainScreen.PlayerValues.HasXPBooster.Value == true then
rewardclone.XPReward.Text = "+10 XP"
else rewardclone.XPReward.Text = "+5 XP"
end
else
rewardclone.CoinReward.Text = "+1 coin"
if game.Players[killer.Value].PlayerGui.MainScreen.PlayerValues.HasXPBooster.Value == true then
rewardclone.XPReward.Text = "+10 XP"
else
rewardclone.XPReward.Text = "+5 XP"
end
end
end
end)

If you want the Name of an object, you can use the .Name property, which is a string. (You could also use the :GetFullName() property to get the full path, which is much more identifying, but using this is hard)
For example, is plr is a reference to some player, their name is plr.Name.
We could then get their object again using game.Players[plr.Name] (plr == game.Players[plr.Name])
If we want to get the position of their Torso, we could ask for plr.Character.Torso.Position.
Or, if you were instead given the name of the player, plrName, you would just get plr using game.Players[plrName].
