How do I get the value of an ObjectValue?
So I've been trying to make killstreaks for my game but every time I try to get the value of creator from the humanoid of the player that dies it comes up with this error:
20:01:55.010 - Workspace.OnDeath:34: bad argument #2 to '?' (string expected, got userdata) 20:01:55.011 - Script 'Workspace.OnDeath', Line 34 20:01:55.012 - Stack End
And this is the part of the script in which the error is happening:
Game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
plr:WaitForChild("Data"):WaitForChild("Morph") wait(0)
if plr.TeamColor ~= Game.Teams.Lobby.TeamColor then
Game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Data.Morph.Value):Invoke(plr.Character)
Game.ServerStorage.Weapons:FindFirstChild(plr.Data.Morph.Value):Clone().Parent = plr.Character
local HealthManager = script.HealthManager:Clone()
HealthManager.Parent = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
HealthManager.Disabled = false
local Killstreak = Instance.new("IntValue", plr.Character)
Killstreak.Name = "Killstreak"
print(plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Killstreak"))
plr.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
print("Person died")
if plr.Character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") then
creat = plr.Character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
local killer = game.Players[creat.Value]
print(killer)

creat is a ObjectValue, yet you are trying to use it as a the index on Players.
I don't remember what the value of the creator tag usually is, but from that value, you need to find the Player object. You can do that using one of these thing's:
- The Character's name or the Player's name
- The Character model and
game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter - A reference to the player itself
Using name, it would simply be game.Players[playerName] where playerName would probably be defined as either creat.Value.Parent.Name or creat.Value.Name.
Using the character model, probably one of game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(creat.Value) or game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(creat.Value.Parent).
Or, if it is the player itself, just creat.Value would reference the player.
