How to not reference a string value but get the value itself

I’m trying to get a label to equal the value from a String Value

script.Parent.DescriptionFrame.NameLabel.Text = theTroop.TroopName.Value

I tried it, but it didn’t work. I then realized it was probably because theTroop.TroopName.Value was a reference, and therefore the text couldn’t become it. Is there a way to get the value inside theTroop.TroopName.Value itself, and then make the label have that text? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question lol.

script.Parent.DescriptionFrame.NameLabel.Text = tostring(theTroop.TroopName.Value)

This may not fix your problem 100%, or it might, but either way, you should always convert values into strings, if it is an IntValue, or NumberValue, or any other value that can be used as a string. (Not a value like a boolean, etc…)

Are you sure troopName is a string value and not an instance value?

If it is an instance you can add a .Name to get the string.

What is the error?

Doing typeof() will greatly help reduce these type errors.
