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I found the script on an outdated youtube video and I'm trying to get it to work, here's what I have.
function OnPlayerEntered(player)
if player.userId == game.CreatorId then --for the game owner, might remove it
local msg = Instance.new("Message")
msg.Parent = game.Workspace
msg.Text = "The creator has joined the server!"
wait(2)
msg:remove()
elseif player.Name == "Aprilsaurus" then --what I'm trying to work on
local msg = Instance.new("Message")
msg.Parent = game.Workspace
msg.Text = "The Dev has joined this server!" --the text
wait(10)
msg:remove()
end
end
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 — 4y

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