How to make GUI visible to certain players?
Yes, I know its on the Roblox Dev Forum, but I couldn't seem to understand it.
If anyone could explain a bit easier, it would surely help!

Here's a script and explanation that minifies @GR1PP3RTV
First, let's make a table holding all the players that will see the GUI.
1 | local whilelistedplayers = {"Player1", "Player2"} |
Once you do that, we'll have to make a PlayerAdded Event
1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect( |
3 | function(plr) |
4 | print(plr.Name .. " has joined.") |
5 | end |
6 | ) |
After that, we'll have to loop through the table to detect if the player who joined is in the table.
1 | for i, v in pairs(whilelistedplayers) do |
2 | if v == plr.Name then |
3 | local Gui = ServerStorage.Gui:Clone() |
4 | Gui.Parent = Player.PlayerGui |
5 | end |
6 | end |
Okay, now let's combine everything:
01 | local whilelistedplayers = {"Player1", "Player2"} |
02 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
03 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect( |
04 | function(plr) |
05 | print(plr.Name .. " has joined.") |
06 | for i, v in pairs(whilelistedplayers) do |
07 | if v == plr.Name then |
08 | local Gui = game.ServerStorage.Gui:Clone() |
09 | Gui.Parent = Player.PlayerGui |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | ) |
How the code functions:
When a player joins, the i, v in pairs loop would detect if the player who joined name is one of the whitelisted players. If yes, it would clone the GUI and put it in the PlayerGui. (make sure the Gui that will be cloned is inside ServerStorage

Here is an explanation to understand.
Gui will be on the ServerStorage, so exploiters can't access Gui very easily.
01 | --> Services |
02 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
03 | local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") |
04 |
05 | --> Variables |
06 | local Whitelist = {"Oof1", "Oof2", "Oof3"} --> You can use ID instead of names |
07 |
08 | --> Functions |
09 | local function CheckWhitelist(Player) |
10 | for Index, Value in pairs(Whitelist) do |
11 | if Player.Name == Value or Player.UserId == Value then |
12 | return true |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |
As you can see, I created a table that contains the names of who can use the Gui, and a function called CheckWhitelist. The first argument of the function is the player object, and the function check if table values matches the player's name or ID.
So, the PlayerAdded method of Players service, will fire when a player joins the server. After the method fire, I use the CheckWhitelist function to check if the player's name or ID is in table values, if so, will clone the Gui and set the Parent to the PlayerGui of the player.
I guess this can help you.

I think you can do
1 | if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name == "YourName" then |
2 | script.Parent.Enabled = true |
3 | else |
4 | script.Parent.Enabled = false |
5 | end |
and if you want to do multiple players then do this
1 | if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name == "YourName", "theotherguysname", "otherguysname" then |
2 | script.Parent.Enabled = true |
3 | else |
4 | script.Parent.Enabled = false |
5 | end |
