local local_plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Name
game.ReplicatedStorage.GUI.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()

	wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.Text = (local_plr .. " HAS SENT OUT A N")
	wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.Text = (local_plr .. " HAS SENT OUT A NU")
	wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.Text = (local_plr .. " HAS SENT OUT A NUK")
	wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.Text = (local_plr .. " HAS SENT OUT A NUKE")
	wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.Text = (local_plr .. " HAS SENT OUT A NUKE!")

	wait(3)
	script.Parent.Text = ""


end)
  • the main issue with this is that when the gui pops up after the gamepass has been purchased it displays the localplayer.name for each individual player not the person who purchased the nuke.

It is a localscript in startergui

local runserv = game:GetService("RunService")
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local nukemessage = "HAS SENT A NUKE!"
local tl = script.Parent

-- the argument (plr) in the function should be the player who bought the nuke so it replicates properly
repstorage:WaitForChild("GUI").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local nukemessage = plr.Name .. nukemessage
    script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0
   for i = 1,#nukemessage,1 do
	tl.Text = string.sub(nukemessage,1,i)
	runserv.Heartbeat:Wait()
   end
    wait(3)
    tl.Text = ""
    tl.TextTransparency = 1

end)

Ok, so the text message is displayed but when I run the remoteevent, tl is undefined. Do I just change it into script.Parent?
