How do I get the name of the creator of a place?
I want to get the name of the creator of the place, using game.<childnamehere>, but I can't find anything other than the CreatorId. I want to know if there is a way of getting the name of the creator, without using HTTP (HTTP is accessing websites, and deriving/adding information to/from them).
Can any help me with this?

Why not just use the game owner's UserID? game.CreatorId shayner32 478 — 8y

But that would mean using HTTP, which I don't want. Do you read? UserId does not give you a name TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

How is this a bad question? Don't downvote me if your not knowledgable enough in RBLX Lua to answer my question. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

You can use InsertService to get the name of a person from their userid by using this neat trick instead of HttpService.
function UsernameFromID(ID)
local sets = (type(ID) == "number" and game:service("InsertService"):GetUserSets(ID)) or nil
if sets then
for i, v in next, sets do
if v.Name == "My Models" then
return v.CreatorName
end
end
else error("ID must be a number")
end
end
print(UsernameFromID(261)) --- Shedletsky
