How would I make this work?
I made a personal message GUI, and inside a button is this LocalScript. However, I don't know how to parent the PM GUI it makes to the recipient's PlayerGui. I did this script.
function pm()
local n = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
local m = script.Parent.Parent.username.Text
local b = script.Parent.Parent.pm.Text
local p = game.ReplicatedStorage.pm:Clone()
p.Frame.author.Text = "from " .. n
p.Frame.text.Text = "" .. m
p.Parent = game.Players.m.PlayerGui
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(pm)
I need to know how I would do line 8 correctly. Can anyone help?

p.Parent = game.Players:FindFirstChild(m).PlayerGui
end

You are trying to find a child of Players named m. This will return nil, since there is nothing inside PlayerGui named m. But we can look for the string that m defined (the name) inside the PlayerGui by using FirstFIndChild.
