Take a look - it says the player is nil
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
while true do
wait(5)
print(player)
if owner.Value ~= nil then
if owner.Value == player then
print("yay")
end
end
end
Thanks for the Help!
The Player isn't nil, it's simply an Object, trying to print such a thing will give no results, simply because there is nothing to give; thus nil. You'll need a direct reference, such as a property or something of the sorts for it to give a viable output, for example, try printing their username:
print(Player.Name)
If this doesn't work out, and somehow the Player is truly nil try using this debug statement for varification or restarting ROBLOX Studio:
if (Player ~= nil) then print("accessible") else print("null") end
print(player) will print the player's name if the player object is valid, that's actually likely to be the source of confusion here.
player is your Player object. When you call print(player), it prints the name of your player because the built-in print function tries to use tostring() on anything that's not already a string. For players, this returns the player name.
But... you can't compare a string that is a player name to the player object, that will not match. You have to do something like if stringValueObject.Value == player.Name then
