How can I find the Player Name by here

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#10

Thank you so much and is this a replacement of my old Folder Creator script cause it seems like it, and if i want to save the Buildings putted into the Player’s folder is there a way to do that cause i know i can use Tables?

#11

Use datastore
Data Stores (roblox.com)

and GetChildren on their save folder
Instance:GetChildren (roblox.com)

But its basically like Bloxburg i want to save Positions and Decals , Textures and the Buildings Properties

#13

so i want to save the whole player’s plot

#14

You will have to get the data from the folder, make it compatible with the datastore and save it

How do i create a saving system for parts using DataStores? - Help and Feedback / Scripting Support - DevForum | Roblox

You would have to save everything on the datastore, since you can’t save raw instances then I suggest you also take a look at this:

btw is there a way i can get the Player’s Name? In a SSS Script cause i want to know the player name so i can transfer the buildings built by the player into the following folders we just created

#17

When the player is placing the building you would have its ghost show on the client where it will be placed and then when the player wants to finalize the position and place the block you send the position, what type of block and any other info you need for it to the server and then the server will receive the player instance as the first argument. From there you can check on the server whether or not the player should be allowed to place the building and correctly put it inside the folder corresponding to the player by either using the Index dictionary like Index[Player.UserId] or from another script like workspace:WaitForChild("PlayerFolders"):FindFirstChild(Player.Name). orrr you can use bindable events / functions to access the Index variable from another script

No sorry, i meant like how can i check the player name cause i want to make it so when the player places a block, the block dont go to workspace as a children i want to make it so the block goes into the player personal folder as a children.

#19

the player’s personal folder is inside workspace so you go workspace → PlayerFolders → 4HM4DJ

#20

Use RemoteEvents, when the player places the block call the server with FireServer() with the position, block and all the info needed.

From the server you can receive with RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Info)

The first argument from OnServerEvent will be always the Player.

yes but if i want to type that into a local script i would say
local playerName = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
newBlock.Parent = game.Workspace.PlayerFolders:FindFirstChild(playerName)`
even thought my script is a SSS Script so how would i do that in a SSS Script

#22

From the client you use a remote event or function and fire it so the server gets the data of where the block needs to be placed + the player’s instance as the first argument

Thanks thats a good way to do it also but im trying to see if i can find a simpler way lol

#24

i already have the building system and all that i just need to change the parent of the placed building from workspace to the player personal folder

#25

Sorry to say but that’s probably one of the easiest ways I can think, you will need to communicate with the server or else all the objects will only be on the client, which means they will be not existant on the server.

For the communication with the server you can use the RemoteEvents.
