local player = game:GetService("Players")
local Lplayer = tostring(player.LocalPlayer)
print(Lplayer)

It dosen't print out the LocalPlayer's username. Help please!

You don't need tostring before the localPlayer; it is already a string value IAmNotTheReal_MePipe 418 — 4y

If this is via a Local Script, you can simply do

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(player.Name)

However if this is in a server script, I'm pretty sure you cannot do this. You can only get a player by using Events I believe. eg: A PlayerAdded event, etc.
