local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name --Find Player name
local nameofplayer = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player) --Get the player in workspace
if script.Toggled.Value == 1 then
print(nameofplayer)
end
Error (Line 2): Argument 1 missing or nil
Maybe this will work
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Find Player name
local nameofplayer = player.Character.Name--Get the player in workspace
if script.Toggled.Value == 1 then
print(nameofplayer)
end
All localPlayers have names, and the workspace player model names are the same.
Is this in a localscript? It seems like it isn't if it's finding player as a nil value. If it is in a localscript, it may be firing too fast before the character/player actually loads.
If you're simply looking for a name, a revision to ghost's script; you don't need the name of the character since it simply inherits it from the player object. Just pull the name from the player object you already defined.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if script.Toggled.Value == 1 then
print(player.Name)
end
I'm guessing you want to find the character of the player, in order to make it work on a server and not just in studio you must get player with this.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
if not character or not character.Parent then
character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
"character.Name" is the the player's name.
Change it to this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name --Find Player name local nameofplayer = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player:FindFirstChild("Character").Name) --Get the player in workspace
if script.Toggled.Value == 1 then
print(nameofplayer)
end
local nameofplayer = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player:FindFirstChild("Character").Name)
LocalPlayer names can be accessed with:
local plrName = game.Player.LocalPlayer.Name
And the character can be accessed with
local character = workspace:WaitForChild(plrName)
Hope that helps.

You can get a Player's Character by the 'Character' property of a Player ( Player.Character ). :)
Can I have an example? Or a revision to my original script?
