Handcuff script returning "(a userdata value)" Any Help?
LocalScript in Handcuff tool.
1 | local Officer = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 |
3 | script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
4 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
5 | local arrestedworkspaceplr = workspace[hit.Parent.Name] |
6 | local arrestedplayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(arrestedworkspaceplr) |
7 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Police.CloneHandcuffGui:FireServer(tostring(arrestedplayer)) |
8 | end |
9 | end) |
ServerScript in ServerScriptStorage
1 | --HandcuffGuiClone-- |
2 | local PoliceFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Police |
3 |
4 | PoliceFolder.CloneHandcuffGui.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(arrestedplayer) |
5 | print("Fired") |
6 | local PersonGettingArresting = arrestedplayer |
7 | local ClonedGui = game.ServerStorage.Police.GUIs.RequestToHandcuffGui |
8 | ClonedGui.CuffGui.AreYouSure.Text = "Are you sure you want to arrest".. PersonGettingArresting.."?" |
9 | end) |
I keep getting this error 12:20:37.473 - ServerScriptService.PoliceEvents:8: attempt to concatenate local 'PersonGettingArresting' (a userdata value) I just dont understand whats wrong with the code. I been trying to script this for hours.

You need to change
game.ReplicatedStorage.Police.CloneHandcuffGui:FireServer(tostring(arrestedplayer))
to
game.ReplicatedStorage.Police.CloneHandcuffGui:FireServer(arrestedplayer.Name)
You can't convert a player (userdata) to a string, but you can get their name from player.Name. Gl on your game, ask if you need any more help! :D

The problem there doesn't have to do with this question, the problem is arrestedplayer is nil. That means `game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(arrestedworkspaceplr)` doesn't work ArtsicleOfficial 171 — 6y
