Is it possible to determine if text is a User Id or a User Name

[Jackyjack1249 (big_toe)]

It’s a little complicated what I’m trying to make so I will just skip over that but basically I’m just trying to figure out is there a way to determine if a text is a User Id or a User Name without adding a manual switch which tells the code whether It’s a User Id or a User Name (Which I can do if need be). I’m not asking for any pre-made code I just need some possible ideas from another set of minds as you guys might be able to think of something I can’t.

Yes, it’s possible to do this. You can use Players methods GetUserIdFromNameAsync and GetNameFromUserIdAsync.

You might want to run both and see if either/both of them yield a value.

1. If GetUserIdFromNameAsync yields a value, then that means you have the ID of a player.
2. If GetNameFromUserIdAsync yields a value, then that means you have the username of a player.
3. If both yield a value, that means the text is both a username and an ID. You should pick one to take precedence (probably the ID).
4. If neither of them yield a value, the text is neither a username nor an ID.
