Handcuff script returning "(a userdata value)" Any Help?
LocalScript in Handcuff tool.
local Officer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local arrestedworkspaceplr = workspace[hit.Parent.Name]
local arrestedplayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(arrestedworkspaceplr)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Police.CloneHandcuffGui:FireServer(tostring(arrestedplayer))
end
end)
ServerScript in ServerScriptStorage
--HandcuffGuiClone--
local PoliceFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Police
PoliceFolder.CloneHandcuffGui.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(arrestedplayer)
print("Fired")
local PersonGettingArresting = arrestedplayer
local ClonedGui = game.ServerStorage.Police.GUIs.RequestToHandcuffGui
ClonedGui.CuffGui.AreYouSure.Text = "Are you sure you want to arrest".. PersonGettingArresting.."?"
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
