Why won't this finding of a username work?
I have a feeling I screwed up on Line 3 at the end. Can someone help me edit it? Thanks :)
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
2 | Username = player.name |
3 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PhoneGUI.Menu.Owner.Text = (Username) |
4 | end) |

Take away the () near Username. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 10y

Is this within a LocalScript? If so, that is your problem; According to the WIKI, the 'PlayerAdded' event does not work in a LocalScript anymore. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 10y

If it's a regular script use player.PlayerGui.PhoneGUI.Menu.Owner.Text = Username. If it's a local script do game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PhoneGUI.Menu.Owner.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name and remove the PlayerAdded. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 10y

Also, in the original script ,`player.name` should be `player.Name`. duckwit 1404 — 10y

Let's look at two scenarios.
1.) Using a local script
2.) Using a regular script
One issue with your code is that you can't use LocalPlayer and .PlayerAdded in the same script due to the simple fact that one only works in server-scripts and one only works in localscripts.
If this is a localscript, we can make the code to:
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer; |
2 | local name = plr.Name; |
3 | repeat until plr.ChildAdded:wait().Name == "PlayerGui" |
4 | plr.PlayerGui.PhoneGui.Menu.Owner.Text = name; |
In a regular script, we can do the following:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | local name = plr.Name; |
3 | plr.PlayerGui.PhoneGui.Menu.Owner.Text = name; |
4 | end) |
