Player's Team Name As A Value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hello world! I am making a soccer script. In the game there is a StringValue that has the player’s name who ever the last player to touch the ball.

I am wanting to get the player’s team name but I don’t know how to do that when I just have the player’s name as a StringValue’s value.

#2

local name = StringValue.Value

local player = players:FindFirstChild(name)

#3 
local player = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(stringValue.Value)
if player then
	print(player.Team)
end

Storing the player’s UserId would be a better bet. You could then use GetPlayerByUserId instead of FindFirstChild, as the latter could return an instance that is not a player in unlikely circumstances.

A player’s team name can be known by using simply “player.Team.Name”

So the script should be like -

local touch_player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(StringValue.Value)
local touch_team = touch_player.Team

print(touch_team.Name.." team touched the ball")

I can’t get pasted this issue. This is a Print in the output. Sometime it works like I want and other times it works like this.

Problem: The player own goals because team name does not equal goal’s value. Witch is what I want, but the player is on the blue team not orange and it is printing the player is on orange team.

Player’s Team name, Player’s name, Goal’s value, Points added
