LocalPlayer isn't a thing on the server... You'll have to use PlayerAdded

✓ Accepted answer

If you have the script in the gui then the screen gui is child of playerGui which is child of player so all you have to do is type script.Parent.Parent... -- to get to the player.

Having Scripts inside of the StarterGui is terribly bad practice, instead just convert it to a LocalScript and use LocalPlayer.
