How Do I Get A Player's Username In A Normal Script?
I know that getting a Player's username in a local script is easy, BUT I'm running a function that needs to be ran in a script. How would I get their name?
Current script I have:
local PlayerId = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId() -- Trying to get their Id local PlayerName = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync() print(PlayerId) print(PlayerName)
This is an example of how I would think of using it but it doesn't seem to work

Hi, I have no idea how, but I would appreciate it if you could show me the script as I am testing some scripts for a big game I would like to create. shotpaper7 -5 — 3y

You could use a PlayerAdded function which will fire every time a player joins the game. You can set an argument of the player and just get their userId & name from there. Example:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print(player.UserId)
print(player.Name)
end)
