Updating a player's gui help?

So I know that you can't change the startergui cause that's just inserted into the character when they join, how would I access the players gui and update this script from there

    for timewait = 2, 0, -1 do
        Players = game.Players:GetPlayers() --Define players
        wait(1)
        game.Workspace.StartingLine.Timer.SurfaceGui.Time.Text = "Picking Terrain"

        game.StarterGui.MainGui.TimeFrame.Timer.Text = "Picking Terrain" --The part that needs to go to the playergui not startergui

    endi
    end

To answer your question quickly, you never cycle through the players, only change the starting gui, not their gui. To fix use this script:

for timeWait = 2, 0, -1 do
    for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        Player.PlayerGui.MainGui.TimeFrame.Timer.Text = "Picking Terrain"
    end
    workspace.StartingLine.Time.SurfaceGui.Time.Text = "Picking Terrain"
    wait(1)
end

It should be noted that GetPlayers is quicker than using GetChildren and checking if the current value in the loop is a player. Spongocardo 1991 — 8y
