For example, when I put a script in ReplicatedFirst and type in game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer, does the code wait for the player to load in? I just need clarification because I tested this earlier and the code doesn't throw an error.
COMMUNITY QUESTION
Does Players().LocalPlayer wait for the player to be created if the player doesn't exist yet?

No, that piece of code alone does not wait for the LocalPlayer, it just locates them. If you want to actually wait for the player, then do this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
You can also use a function
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
But just don't forget to put end like this at the end of the script to close the function :
end)

What kinda script is this
There's no need to wait for the local player. Local scripts only run once the player has loaded in.
