Your trying to edit StarterGui, StarterGui is just what gets copied to PlayerGui when a player joins or respawns.

You need to change game.StarterGui to:

game.Players["PlayerName"].PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel

if this is a local script and your only changing the current player you can use:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel

Thanks, this is a normal script, not a local script, btw, how i make it work whit all the players on the game? Gigaset39 111 — 2y

li tryed: Local hint = game:GetService("Players").PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel Gigaset39 111 — 2y

Also, when my character dies, i no more see the text, but when the script restarts it works. Gigaset39 111 — 2y

If you want to continue to see the text, In the ScreenGui Instance when not play testing, set ResetOnSpawn to false Protogen_Dev 268 — 2y
