How to change a textlabel's into a players name?
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local name = plr.Name
local change = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel
local player = game:GetService("Players")
player.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
change.Text = name
end)
Not sure why its not working. I tried it without player added and end) but what I did was print(name) and it actually printed my name so I dont see why it should not work. I suspect its the playeradded part which I made a mistake but I just cant figure out what. Please help thanks!

Don't use startergui, after the game loads "startergui" becomes "playergui" in each player. StarterGui is to put GUIs which EACH player will start with. PlayerGui is what a certain player has as their UI.

^^ Is very true! PlayerGui is used to define what the player sees! Lightning_Game27 232 — 4y
