does object value hold a name? or an actual object

Asked 1,615 views1 answers
local creator = Instance.new('ObjectValue', p.Parent.Enemy)
creator.Name = "creator"
creator.Value = script.Parent.Parent
wait(4)
creator:Destroy()

when i make the value of that objectvalue = script.Parent.Parent ---- (which is my character model)

does it just take the name of my character model? or is it my actual character model id. like, if i put

game.Players:FindFirstChild(creator.Value)

would it return my character model or my player?

It would return nil... Because you are trying to find the character in Players service.

so, you are saying objectvalue holds the actual model and not the string of the name? correct?

But you can do this...to find the player from the creator.Value 

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(creator.Value)

That will only work if the creator.Value is a character.
