Get player from account name (string)

[lk12]

Hey guys I'm having a little problem, I'm trying to get the player element from the account name that is a string.

I have tried:

Fail:

local host = getElementData(source, "HostedBy") 
local hoster = getAccountPlayer(getAccount(host))  
  
Debug: bad argument @ getAccountPlayer, expected account at argument 1 got boolean 

I also tried:

local host = getElementData(source, "HostedBy")-- This will return the account name as a string. 
local hoster = getAccountPlayer(host)-- here I'm trying to get the player from the account name string. 
  
debug: bad argument @ getAccountPlayer, expected account at argument 1 got string: "Lk12" 

Any help is much appreciated.

check the account actually exists. try to do each function separately and output each response individually. the code looks fine o me.
