When you print an instance like player by itself tostring() is automatically done on it.This is done with luau built in metatable

However when you concatenate with “…” it doesn’t so you will need to use tostring() to convert it to a string

Chang the player In the second print to player.Name. It’ll fix it. As your combining the player instance it self. Not the name. So just add .name at the end to fix
