How can I set a text to a part's material name?
I used the following code:
1 | TextLabel.Text = tostring(part.Material) |
However, this sets the text to: 'Enum.Wood.Material', instead of 'Wood'. Is there a way to get the material name without having to use a 'if part.Material == Enum.Material.Wood then ..'?

Use substrings.
1 | print(string.sub( |
2 | tostring(Enum.Material.Glass),15,20) |
3 | ) |
4 | -- "Glass" |
'Enum.Material.' takes up 15 characters, so it just comes down to finding everything after those.
