Cant get user's display name

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im trying to load any player’s user with a script, and its working fine. But when i try to laod their dislay name it doesnt work.

print(game.UserService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync(game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Username)))

The 'Username" variable is just my username. So this should print my user info, but it errors and says “cant cast array”

Oh also, the user shouldnt have to be in the server. Thats why im doing all this extra stuff.

Try to use pcalls instead, let me know how this code works for you:

local success, userId = pcall(function() return game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Username); end);
if success and userId then
    local success2, userInfo = pcall(function() return game.UserService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({userId}); end);
    if success2 and userInfo and #userInfo > 0 then
        print("Player's display name:", userInfo[1].DisplayName);
    else
        warn("Failed to get userid");
    end;
else
    warn("Failed to get userid");
end;
