It should be

game:GetService(“UserService”):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync

The function is a part of the UserService not Players.

They might have made a mistake when typing the example code

#10

What line is the error on?—————-

for _, data in ipairs(page) do

Is it on that line?

I suggest adding print statements to debug

#11

its on line 78 its the line thats

local UserInfo = game:GetService("UserService"):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({userId})
#13 
local UserInfo = game:GetService("UserService"):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({166802666}) 
-- returns a table with table inside. The table inside contains the data you want.

local UserInfo = game:GetService("UserService"):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({166802666})

print(UserInfo[1].DisplayName)

The output

#14

If i change that to

local userId = data.key
local UserInfo = game:GetService("UserService"):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync(userId)

It says unable to cast to arrray
so idk

#15

Sorry I made a mistake in the code refer back to the previous reply I made. I editted it

#17

the error says you have an invalid userid. Add a print statement which prints your UserID variable

#18

the userid is there just dont know why its not working lol

#19

Replace the UserID variable with an actual userid. Does it work? Also try printing the type of the UserID variable print(typeof(UserID)) it should be a number.

Try adding tonumber(UserID)

#20

it only works if i just do

local UserInfo = game:GetService("UserService"):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({1326738568})

but i cant do that because im trying to get the display name of the user that has donated the most so idk

#21

Print the type of UserID and tonumber it.

#22

when i do

print(tonumber(userId))

it prints the userid but not sure why its not working when i do
GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({userId}) lol

#23

Sorry I was away from my device. Now try setting userId to a number and then put that edited userId in the parameter of the GetUsersInfo function.

userId = tonumber(userId)

`o

local UserInfo = game:GetService("UserService"):GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({userId})

Did you forget about this? Just save a player’s “DisplayName” property whenever they donate to the game.

#25

How would i save the players display name if GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync doesnt work?
