the below is an answer repost(i wrote an answer to ur original question but u idk if u saw it so here is a repost):

ok so what im guessing is either

local green = game.Workspace.green -- i altered this part a bit

function onClicked(plr) -- On click get player
    if green.PLRNAME == plr.Name.Value then
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
end


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr) -- i also altered this part
    onClicked(plr)
end)

or that

local green = game.Workspace.green -- i altered this part a bit

function onClicked(plr) -- On click get player
    if green.PLRNAME == plr.Name then -- i also altered this part a bit
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
end


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr) -- i also also altered this part
    onClicked(plr)
end)

i apologize if this dusnt work ur question is also too broad btw

You are assigning it to the value instance but not its Value property. Change line 4 to this:

if green.PLRNAME.Value == plr.Name then

Assigning it to the StringValue is assigning it to the Instance, not the actual string that makes up the value. This is a very simple mistake many people make.

GetChildren() is very similar to a single instance as you can find individual instances from it like if you were finding one instance under another DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 6y

oh...then yes, it would be. In that case, it would find a child of the children already being found. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 6y
