player.Name somehow doesn't work while there is a local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

[TrackoTheTaco]

So I was scripting a game while I wanted a player’s name to be put in a print command so I went to the top where I put all my locals and added: local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
then I went down and wrote: print("Checking if"player.Name"Has regular NPC dialogue settings") And then I noticed that the player.Name was underlined with red meaning that there is an error with it, And I do not understand why it is giving me an error it should work because as I said, At the top I wrote: local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer. I don’t need this feature only for the print command, I also need it for other things because if I need it for the print command only, It would just be a waste of time. (I used a local script.)
This is what was in the LocalScript:
local part = workspace.TalkPart1
local textlabel = script.Parent.Frame.TextLabel
local CloseBtn = script.Parent.Frame.CloseBtn
local ContinueBtn = script.Parent.Frame.ContinueBtn
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerCancelledDialogue = print(“A Player has Cancelled their NPC Conversation.”)
local PlayerContinuedDialogue = print(“A Player has Continued their NPC Conversation.”)

part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true

It should be:

("Checking if "..player.Name.." has regular NPC dialogue settings...")

[sjr04 (uep)]

You need to separate the arguments, but you aren’t doing that. Just add a comma in between:

print("Checking if", player, "has regular NPC Dialogue Settings...")

Doing player.Name here is redundant since print calls tostring on its arguments and tostring(instance) returns the instance’s name anyway.

Also, please use a for loop, don’t hardcode each new character…

local text = "Hello dude lol"

for i = 1, #text do
    print(text:sub(1, i))
end

Saves you more time.

I tried it, And It does not work.

[BPilot253]

Do you have any errors in the output?

[TrackoTheTaco]

@BPilot253

u have any errors in the output?

No, But it doesn’t show the GUI anymore It used to show the GUI before.

@sjr04

Doing player.Name here is redundant since print calls tostring on its arguments and tostring(instance) returns the instance’s name anyway.

So the easy way is replacing it with print("Checking if", player, "has regular NPC Dialogue Settings...)?

[sjr04 (uep)]

Yes. print delimits each argument with a space too.

> print("This", "is", "epic")
This is epic

Concatenate intvalues and string in one TextLabel

As an add-on: .. needs to be used to separate actual strings (can not be a number, bool or data value. Use tostring(value) if you want to add a bool, number or data value to a string) when assigning strings to e.g. TextLabel.Text , can be used to separate strings, bools, numbers and whatnot when using print() (separates and adds one space inbetween e.g. print("cow","milk") would print > cow milk )

Alright, Give me a second I will test it.
