Unable to get the String of a Value

Hello. :wave:

I’m trying to send a log message for a hand-to system for tools, using a Discord webhook, but it won’t allow me to use values inside of the content of what it should send, and is coming up with an error. Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated, thanks! :heart:

Did you mean ItemThatWasGiven.Name?

#4

That simply returns the Name, “ItemWasGiven” as it’s returning the name of the IntValue.

#6

ItemThatWasGiven is an object Value. You can’t concatenate an object value like that because you’re referencing an instance (the object’s value’s value is an instance). So instead, use tostring(ItemThatWasGiven) to convert it to a string.

#7

I suggest trying

Player.Name..NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem.Value.Name..ItemThatWasGiven.Value.Name

Since the objects in question are ObjectValues, their ‘Value’ is a reference to another instance. So, by grabbing the name of the referenced value, you will be concatenating all string values. Forgive me if I’m misinterpreting the purpose of the line.
