Your script doesn’t take the contents inside of the StringValue as a table because it reads the contents as a string, you need to do some code to convert it into a table for usage. Can you give an example of how the table in the StringValue is displayed

Also, a tip in your case, from what I can see you’re trying to get something in your localplayer, instead of using a lot of .Parent, you can simply do

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
-- Then variables that contain items inside of your player

Use string.split() to convert a string into a table, similarly you can use table.concat() to convert a table into a string.

local strings = "Hello world!"
local tables = string.split(strings, " ")
print(tables[1])
print(tables[2])
--tables[1] is "Hello"
--tables[2] id "world!"

First argument to string.split is the string itself, the second argument is a delimiter which specifies how to split the string.
