How can I get a object with its Full Name?

[roasted_shrimps]

for example:

function GetObject(fullName)
--get a object with the parameter, fullName
end

local camFullName = workspace.Camera:GetFullName()
print(GetObject(camFullName)) --> workspace.Camera
--OF COURSE THERE AREN'T OBJECTS THAT HAVE SAME NAME.--

What should I code in function GetObject?

What’s the purpose of this exactly? I think I know what you’re after, but there are very few reasons as to why you’d want to do that.

I presume you’re trying to get an instnace from a string, you can use something like this for the code in GetObject

function GetObject(fullName)
	local segments = fullName:split(".")
	local current = game

	for _,location in pairs(segments) do
		current = current[location]
	end

	return current
end

Took it from here and changed it up a bit

Convert String to Instance?

You can use string.split() to divide the path into instance names, and then use a loop to go through them: local dir="Workspace.Baseplate" local segments=dir:split(".") local current=game --location to search for i,v in pairs(segments) do current=current[v] end print(typeof(current)) --"Instance" There may be a way to specify the very first location, but if there is, I’m not aware of it.

Basically it splits the full name from the dots, and then uses those splits as a way to navigate through the directory stating from game and ending up at the location needed
