Why Isn't My Hint Bar Script Working? Why isn't it?
Note: I am a beginner scripter, so I might have problems! The script I use:
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
wait(5)
local Msg = Instance.new ("Hint")
Msg.Parent = game.Workspace
Msg.Text = "Welcome to my game "..player.Name.."! Thanks!"
wait(5)
end
game.Workspace.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
I really need help on this one! I seem to find nothing wrong with it.

No one seems to have mentioned your connection line. It is game.Players.PlayerAdded not game.Workspace.Players.PlayerAdded. Aethex 256 — 10y

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local msg = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
msg.Text = "Welcome to my game "..plr.Name.."! Thanks!"
wait(3);
msg:Destroy();
end)
You didn't define the player correctly and the wait(0) is pointless.
A friend suggested you don't use this though (which I agree with) since hints are outdated. Using a GUI and TextLabels is probably better.

I know wait(0) is pointless, I just added that for no reason, anyways, isn't it: newPlayer.Name? Oh and do I have to put the destroy thing? Operation_Meme 890 — 10y

I changed your newPlayer to plr (just out of my old habits) and the :Destroy would be good considering you don't want a permanent hint. PiggyJingles 358 — 10y

Oh! I thought the hint would go away by itself! Thanks! Operation_Meme 890 — 10y

Line 5: its not player, its newPlayer
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
wait(0)
local Msg = Instance.new ("Hint")
Msg.Parent = game.Workspace
Msg.Text = "Welcome to my game "..newPlayer.Name.."! Thanks!"
wait(5)
end
