How Do I Find Players with Their Username in My Game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, whenever both players come to the stage my remote function will find two of them and give them a GameTag to see if the player left, reset and showing the UI. I store the usernames in a StringValue and I was wondering if there’s any way to find them and give them the GameTag.

Edit: Here’s how the system works:
LocalScript: Checks if two bool values are true and invokes the remote function
Script: Whenever the remote function is invoked find both of the players and give them a GameTag
LocalScript(for the gui): If the player has GameTag then display them the GUI using PlayerGui.

local User1 = game.Players:FindFirstChild(StringValue.Value)
local User2 = game.Players:FindFirstChild(StringValue2.Value)

if User1 and User2 then
-- give players gametag and fire remotefunction
end

Oh, thanks for the response! I’ll be implementing this.
If you’re wondering, yes I am not that good in Lua.

I suggest you take some time to understand roblox’s way of working and client/server boundries before you do such scripts.

Okay, I am learning it by checking articles in Developer Hub and some tutorials on YouTube. Nevertheless, yes it is very important to learn these and I’m learning them right now!

I’m not really sure what you’re looking for, but I guess this might help.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
if Players[StringValue1.Value] then --- Checks if Player is in game
--Do something
end
