Is this the right way to set a global variable to be based on a players name?
Basically I have a stringvalue of the players name So would I just go
_G.script.Parent.PlayerName.Value = 'StuffHere'
That's what I have so far but I won't be able to test until the entire script is finished so I need to know now if it'd work or if there's something else I need to do.
EDIT: To clarify what exactly I have so far
Structure Player - Script, PlayerName stringvalue
script
_G.script.Parent.PlayerName.Value={
bank={},
checks={bankchanged=false,inventorychanged=false,inventorylimitreached=false,skilling=false,stopanim=false},
inventory={},
resources={},
skills={cooking={level=1,xp=0},fishing={level=1,xp=0}}
} --All the things that will be saved.

Why is `script.Parent` in there? BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

The way I have it set up, the stringvalue is not inside the script but in player along with the script. Rhuxus 25 — 8y

Nope, that would return nil.
The script is searching for a child of _G named 'script'.
To include lua syntax when using hierarchies:
_G[script.Parent.PlayerName.Value]
[] is basically an alternate .
