Getting the creator of an asset?
I know you can get the creator of a specific asset by using GetProductInfo() from the MarketplaceService. However, the specific Creator return value returns a table with a String and an Integer, not just a String. I need just the String value. Here are some of the methods I have tried to use:
NOTE: Variable "creator" is a StringValue object.
1)
local service = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
creator.Value = service:GetProductInfo(1000000).Creator[1]
2)
local service = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local values = {}
values = service:GetProductInfo(1000000).Creator
creator.Value = values[1]
3)
local service = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local name, iDontNeed = service:GetProductInfo(1000000).Creator
creator.Value = name
For every single one of these methods, I have gotten this error:
bad argument #3 to 'Value' (string expected, got nil)
Is there a way to get just the String from the table?

The way to do this is as follows:
local service = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local info = service:GetProductInfo(1000000)
creator.Value = info.Creator.Name
I've never actually used MarketplaceService before; I'm just going by the wiki. Regardless, I hope this helps.

Wow! It was that simple? I'm facepalming so much right now. I guess I have a tendency to overthink things. Also, the fact that it said that it returned a table was what threw me off by a lot. Anyways, thanks! nilVector 812 — 9y
