It's not too hard to understand. This is a function of the players service, the wiki informs us, so all we do is use the function.
local Players = game.Players local id = 100 local nameOfPlayerWithId = Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(id) print(nameOfPlayerWithId) --// baltimoreclarke
See? Not too hard.
You should use pcall for this in case the ID you provide isn't valid.
local succeeded, nameOfPlayerWithId = pcall(function()
return Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(id)
end)

You could still reference the function by indexing it instead of calling it as a method: Players.GetNameFromUserIdAsync(Players,id) Goulstem 8144 — 7y
