How do you make a localscript function with PlayerAdded?

PlayerAdded doesn't work in a localscript, but I need a localscript in order to make my game work. Can someone help me? This is what I have:

--Location: game.Workspace
--This is a localscript
function plradded(plr)
local gui=Lighting.Gui:Clone()
gui.Parent=plr.PlayerGui
wait(3)
gui=nil
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(plradded)

The other way works, But easiest fix is changing PlayerAdded to ChildAdded. This should work in LS, and look like this...

--Location: game.Workspace
--This is a localscript
function plradded(plr)
local gui=Lighting.Gui:Clone()
gui.Parent=plr.PlayerGui
wait(3)
gui=nil
end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(plradded)

Use two different scripts and then use RemoteObjects (RemoteEvent/RemoteFunction) if you need them to work together

I don't know what RemoteObjects is, would you mind explaining? ChipioIndustries 454 — 10y

Actually, that's good enough for me. Thanks! ChipioIndustries 454 — 10y
