How can I get the name of a service and use it like a variabe?
I don't want to do game.StarterPlayer because I have a script that changes the name of it every second, so I want to get the name of the StarterPlayer service ans use it in a variable.
This is my code that isn't working:
1 | local lol = game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):GetFullName() |
2 |
3 | wait() |
4 | lol.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 1 |

`:GetFullName()` returns a string -- just do `local lol = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")` and it should work fredfishy 833 — 6y

As described in the comment by fredfishy, you'll want to use
local lol = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
Doing so will create a variable lol that points to StarterPlayer.
By doing the :GetFullName() method, you're creating a variable of the text "game.StarterPlayer" which shouldn't help you in what you want to accomplish.
