Can someone help me with PlayerAdded?
So this is my script:
function playerAdded(player)
local sv = Instance.new("StringValue")
sv.Parent = game.Workspace
sv.name = "IsItBep"
wait(1)
local stringv = game.Workspace.IsItBep
game.Workspace.IsItBep.Value = player.Name()
wait(0.1)
if game.Workspace.IsItBep.Value == "Bep0man" then
local m = Instance.new("Message")
m.Parent = game.Workspace
m.Name = "ItsBep0"
wait(0.5)
local me = game.Workspace.ItsBep0
me.Text = "OMGGGGG GRAB YOUR MOUNTAIN DEW AND DORITOS!!! BEP0MAN IS ON THE GAME!!!!! OMOMGOMGOMGOMGGG SNOOP DOGG"
wait(4)
me.Text = "NO RLLY ITS SO EPIK LIKE 9000!!! (HEAD EXPLODES FORM EPIKNESS)"
wait(4)
me:Destroy()
game.Workspace.IsItBep:Destroy()
else
game.Workspace.IsItBep:Destroy()
end
end
Does anyone know why it's not working?

That code will never run in a billion years.
Functions only run when they are called. Calling a function means asking it to run by putting two parentheses after its name:
function sayHi()
print("Hi")
end
sayHi() --This makes it run
There's nothing special about naming your function playerAdded. It's just a normal function that won't run until you tell it to.
But you don't want your function to only run once, you want it to run when a player joins. This is why we use an event. Connecting a function to an event will make it so that Roblox calls it when the event fires.
We connect the PlayerAdded event to our function:
function sayHi()
print("Hi")
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(sayHi)
Now it will run when someone joins.
Another problem lies with line 07,
game.Workspace.IsItBep.Value = player.Name()
Name is a property, so we shouldn't use parentheses to access it. Instead, write:
game.Workspace.IsItBep.Value = player.Name
But we can take this out entirely just by checking the name directly:
if player.Name == "Bep0man" then
And you have a lot of pointless variables, for example, you wrote:
local m = Instance.new("Message")
m.Parent = game.Workspace
m.Name = "ItsBep0"
wait(0.5)
local me = game.Workspace.ItsBep0
While you could just keep using the variable m.
And,
local sv = Instance.new("StringValue")
sv.Parent = game.Workspace
sv.name = "IsItBep"
wait(1)
local stringv = game.Workspace.IsItBep
While you could just keep using the variable sv.
