I Tried To Make The Text Change While The Local Script Is In The Workspace And While The Game Is Running But The Script Won't Work Anyone Help?? :)

Gui = game.Workspace.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

while true do
Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players."
wait(.5)
Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players.."
wait(.5)
Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players..."
wait(.1)
end

Players is not a descendant of Workspace. Also, this script should be a descendant of StarterGui.

Gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

while true do
Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players."
wait(.5)
Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players.."
wait(.5)
Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players..."
wait(.1)
end

I'd also recommend putting it in StarterGui. Shawnyg 4330 — 10y

LocalScripts will never run from the Workspace, they will only run from a client. Put the localscript in the player for it to work.

Gui = gamePlayers.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui -- Can't get Players from Workspace

while true do
    Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players."
    wait(.5)
    Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players.."
    wait(.5)
    Gui.GameText.Frame.TextOfGame.Text = "Waiting For More Players..."
    wait(.1)
end

Your problem is one, the script needs to be inside StarterGui, and two the gui variable can't access Players and LocalPlayer from the Workspace. Hope I helped and remember to rate up.
