Script doesnt detect Players ID, what to do?

Hello! I am currently new to scripting and facing Problems. I am working on a script that gets the Players UserID and copies the ID into a Stringvalue, I tried making it but it gives me errors.

The Error says “attempt to index nil with ‘UserId’”

Ive tried looking on scriptinghelpers but it wasnt very helpful since it doesnt have alot of users online.

Also the StringValue is parented to StarterCharacterScripts as a normal Script, image . This is the Code I made.

ID = script.Parent.Value

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId

script.Parent.Value = Player

If somebody could tell me what I did wrong it would be very helpful since I am stuck with this problem now for over half a hour.

(Update, I have tried with a local script, it doesnt give any errors now (yay) but it still doesnt do anything)

When using scripts in the StarterCharacter or StarterPlayer folder the script must be a local script to work. All you have to do is replace the script with a local script. Don’t forget to mark this post as a solution if it helped! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply! Ive made it a localscript and it doesnt give errors anymore, but it still doesnt work.

Try this as a LocalScript:

local UserId = script.Parent.Value
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

UserId = Players.LocalPlayer.UserId

Where did you put the “UserId” value? Is it on ReplicatedStorage or Workspace or other?

Try this in a local script

print( game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId )

If on the server, Players.LocalPlayer will return nil, since the LocalPlayer is, well, local. You have to run the script on a LocalScript.

That’s because it’s a Script, so it’s not on the client, therefore you won’t be able to define .LocalPlayer since it’s in the server. Do you mean something like this?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local stringValue = Instance.new("StringValue", player)
    stringValue.Value = player.UserId
end)

The UserId Value is in the StarterCharacterScripts.

Try

ID = script.Parent
Player = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
ID.Value = Player.UserId
