I'm creating a game, and I have a StringValue that detects who it belongs to. That works fine, but I try to locate the player based on that value, and it doesn't work. I don't know how to do this, and here is my failed attempt:
while 2 > 1 do
script.Parent.Name = game.Players[script.Parent.Owner.Value].PlayerGui.Rename.Gui.Name.Value
wait (0.5)
end
Use the Changed event and connect it to a function instead of making a loop.
Also, the ObjectValue has already linked the instances from game, so you can just keep linking from there.
Here is the edited script:
script.Parent.Owner.Changed:connect(function()
local player = script.Parent.Owner.Value
if player ~= nil then --Makes sure the value is not nil, or else the script will crash/error!
script.Parent.Name = player.PlayerGui.Rename.Gui.Name.Value
end
end)
If you have any problems, please leave a comment below. Thank you and I hope this will help you!
