Player printing as "<Instance> (PlayerName)"

[Windsonnes (fortuna0800)]

I am making a votekick system, but got stuck here.

I have a table VotekickInfo that stores the player votes, using players as keys.
However, when trying to get the Name property of the Player, it prints nil.

Here is the relevant code and outputs:

--## Script
local VotekickInfoChanged --## It's a remote event
local VotekickInfo = {}

local function PlayerJoined(Player)
    --## Connected to Players.PlayerAdded
    VotekickInfo[Player] = {}
    VotekickInfoChanged:FireAllClients(VotekickInfo)
end

--## LocalScript

local VotekickInfo = {}

local function OnVotekickInfoChanged(ServerVotekickInfo)
    --## Connected to the remote
    VotekickInfo = ServerVotekickInfo
    for Player, Votes in pairs(VotekickInfo) do
        print(VotekickInfo)
        print(Player)
        print(Player.Name)
        print(Player.Parent)
    end
end

--## After joining game
{
    ["(Windsonnes)"] = {}
}
<Instance> (Windsonnes)
nil
nil

    --## Connected to the remote
    VotekickInfo = ServerVotekickInfo
    for PlayerName, Votes in pairs(VotekickInfo) do
        local Player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(PlayerName)
        if Player then
            print(VotekickInfo)
            print(PlayerName)
            print(Player.Name)
            print(Player.Parent)
        end
    end
end
--## After joining game
{
    ["Windsonnes"] = {}
}

The issue was that the Player object was being used as the key for the VotekickInfo table, however the Player object does not have a Name property so it was returning nil. To solve the issue, the Player’s name should be used as the key for the VotekickInfo table instead. In the OnVotekickInfoChanged function, you can use the game.Players:FindFirstChild() function to get the Player object from the PlayerName key, which will allow you to access the Name property.
