[solved]How to turn string into path?
I am trying to take a string(such as "game.Workspace") and use it as a path. How can I do this?
C_ROOT = script:FindFirstChild("ROOT_LOC").Value; --String value
for i, v in pairs(C_ROOT:GetChildren()) do --Cannot do this because it is a string
print(i, v)
if (v.ClassName == "RemoteFunction") then
ROOT_LINKER = v;
end
end

I figured it out, so I am posting the solution here for anyone who had a similar problem to mine.
a = {}
for w in string.gmatch("Workspace.Brick", "%P+") do
a[#a+1] = w;
end
local a_res = game;
for i = 1, #a do
a_res = a_res[a[i]];
end
a = a_res;
