How do I get a player's name from an ID? [closed]
I have a table of ID's that my game automatically checks through to see if you are friends with any certain people, but it is a long list, so is there any way I can get the username from one of the ID's?

Sure. This function will return the username from the given id. :)
01 | function UserFromId(userId) |
02 | local userSets = game:GetService("InsertService"):GetUserSets(userId) --get the user's sets |
03 | for _,v in pairs(userSets) do --iterate through then |
04 | if v.Name == "My Models" then --check if this is the player's models |
05 | return v.CreatorName --returning the name of the creator of the set "My Models" (the player) |
06 | end |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | print(UserFromId(261)) |

Explain what you're doing. Don't just give them the answer, they won't know anymore about what how to do this than they already did if you don''t elaborate a bit. Goulstem 8144 — 10y

My Models is a mandatory set that is given to every ROBLOX user. You can look at it by clicking "Models" on your inventory tab. If they don't have it, then report it to roblox as a major bug (never). l0cky2013 135 — 10y

You could use HTTP service. Goulstem 8144 — 10y

This is actually a really nifty hack, l0cky. Where did you learn of this? adark 5487 — 10y
