  1. What do you want to achieve? Hello, I’m trying to make a simple godmode script, I know there are better ways to do this but I’m pretty new to lua and I want to keep it simple. Anyways I need help to replace REPLACETHISTEXT with the text that the user put in TextBox.Text.

  2. What is the issue? I don’t know how to insert the TextBox.Text into another line of code

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked around the hub, but i didn’t find any similliar posts.
    I tried to put it in brackets but it didn’t work and I tried to just replace the REPLACETHISTEXT with TextBox.Text but It didn’t work…

So here is my code:
nameinput.Text is the TextBox.Text
execute is my TextButton

execute.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	Target = nameinput.Text
	if Target == "andrejkooooo" then
		People = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
		game.Workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Humanoid, -99999999)
	else
		People = game.Players.REPLACETHISTEXT.Character
		game.Workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Humanoid, -99999999)

	end
end

Thank you!

You could do this

People = game:GetService("Players")[Target].Character

But this is prone to erroring if the given name is not ingame, so make sure you check that as well

People = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(Target)

if not People or not People.Character then
   return
end
workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Character.Humanoid, -99999999)

Thank you so much dude!
for anyone wondering this is the final script:

execute.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	Target = nameinput.Text
	if Target == "andrejkooooo" then
		People = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
		game.Workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Humanoid, -99999999)
	else
		People = game:GetService("Players")[Target].Character
		People = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(Target)

		if not People or not People.Character then
			return
		end
		workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Character.Humanoid, -99999999)
	end
end)

Do not include t hat line, it will error if you do not pass in a valid player name

No, all you need to do is remove the line I quoted, you just need the other lines that are after the else

execute.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	Target = nameinput.Text
	if Target == "andrejkooooo" then
		People = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
		game.Workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Humanoid, -99999999)
	else
		People = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(Target)

		if not People or not People.Character then
			return
		end
		workspace.resources.events.humTakeDamage:FireServer(People.Character.Humanoid, -99999999)
	end
end)
