How to announce when a certain player joined the game?
I'm trying to find a script where is a certain user was to join the server, there will be a pop up on the screen saying "User joined the game!"
For some reason, the script isn't working though.
I found the script on an outdated youtube video and I'm trying to get it to work, here's what I have.
01 | function OnPlayerEntered(player) |
02 | if player.userId == game.CreatorId then --for the game owner, might remove it |
03 | local msg = Instance.new("Message") |
04 | msg.Parent = game.Workspace |
05 | msg.Text = "The creator has joined the server!" |
06 | wait(2) |
07 | msg:remove() |
08 | elseif player.Name == "Aprilsaurus" then --what I'm trying to work on |
09 | local msg = Instance.new("Message") |
10 | msg.Parent = game.Workspace |
11 | msg.Text = "The Dev has joined this server!" --the text |
12 | wait(10) |
13 | msg:remove() |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 |
17 | game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(OnPlayerEntered) |
I don't see any errors in the output so I'm not sure why it's not working, any help is appreciated.

Try to use "PlayerAdded" and not "ChildAdded"; Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerEntered) NiniBlackJackQc 1562 — 5y

You should be using .PlayerAdded instead of .ChildAdded
Try this:
1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 |
3 | local function playerAdded(Player) |
4 | -- Rest of code here. |
5 | end |
6 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerAdded) |
