So, i have a game in which there is a 1-person server. I want to control the PLAYERS GUI not the starter one. I am an intermediate scripter so fell free to speak in heavy scripter talk. Oh yeah and i checked all the wiki articles on GUIs and I couldn't find it.

Control a Player GUI?

Since everything in StarterGui is cloned into a player's PlayerGui each time they respawn, to edit what the player is currently seeing you must make your changes to the PlayerGui.
game.Players.Player.PlayerGui:ClearAllChildren() --Removes all GUIs a player is currently seeing.

So then you would use the StarterGUI to add a gui?

In studio, yes. If you create a GUI in StarterGui while the game is running, however, players would not be able to see it until they respawned,

Ok so if you're answer is correct you could do: game.Players.Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGUI.TextLabel.Text = "Hello"

Yes, that would work (assuming someone's name is 'Player'). If you want to edit all the players, use a for loop. For example, 'for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do print(v.Name) end'
