Thats impossible to do because the Player object doesn’t exist, what player information are you trying to get?

#3

I’m tryna get their name simply

#4

use Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync()

#5

Will I be able to get it even if that player is offline?

#6

Yes, it gets their name from the Roblox database.

#7

yes, you just need to have the userid

also i recommend wrapping it in a pcall because this method can sometimes throw errors
