I tried this, when the player doesn't exist, it prints that the player doesn't exist, but when the player does exist, it also prints that the player does not exist, how could i fix this?

local text = script.Parent.Text
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
        if enterPressed then
            if not Players:FindFirstChild(text) then
                print("Player "..script.Parent.Text.." does not exist.")
            return end
            else
        print(script.Parent.Text)
        script.Parent.name.Value = script.Parent.Text
        script.Parent.Visible = false
        script.Parent.Parent.valueedit.Visible = true
    end
end)

There is no output, and the player's name is gotten by putting it in a textbox and saving it in a stringvalue. WatsPlayzROBLOX 80 — 3y
