Ok, i don't know how to categorize this. Anyways, somewhere in my code i have:
game.Players.plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Input.Text
However, plr is supposed to point to a variable. Instead, it looks for a player named "plr". Anybody know how to fix this?
To fix it use
game:GetService('Players')[plr.Name].PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Input.Text
Reminder : If you are using the plr as the object of the player you must use plr.Name , if you are using it as a name put it as plr , not plr.Name, Ah i forgot , if it is a LocalScript then it wont work(only if you have set the plr as the localplayer) , if you are passing a value through a remoteEvent with the value "plr" it will work(if you are using a server script).
Explain better
###If your plr variable is an object, access like this:
game:GetService("Players")[plr.Name]
###But if your plr variable is a string, specifically the player's name, do this:
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Name
game:GetService("Players")[plr]
###However none would be necessary. Just make plr a reference to the Player object, without using game:GetService("Players")[plr.Name]
###Do keep in mind that LocalPlayer cannot be used in a server script. Only local scripts.
you forgot plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui under object as the plr object doesn't need to be searched through players again.

If this is a local script you can do LocalPlayer in place of plr. If this is a localized player value in a regular script you can do game.Players[plr.Name].PlayerGui......exetra
or you can do plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui
Oh, thanks.
