String

[Monument]

hello

I have a value and its source ( Element Data )
And this value comes with String
function requires the absence of it

What do you mean by absence of it? What is kind of information stored in such string?

Is it a number? If so, you can

theNumber = tonumber(theString)

to turn it from a string to a number

If it's a boolean, you can do a sort-of tertiary operation

theBool = theString == "true"

which treats a string that equals to "true" as a true value and all other strings as a false value.

If it's a JSON string object, you can fromJSON to turn in into a Lua table.

He wanted to somehow convert a string to an already existing variable that was storing an element, I have told him on pm that’s not possible, he made this topic as yesterday night I didn’t answered at time.

For now it’s fixed.
