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.
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A friend suggested you don't use this though (which I agree with) since hints are outdated.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?
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.
Oh! I thought the hint would go away by itself! Thanks!
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
Thanks!

No one seems to have mentioned your connection line. It is game.Players.PlayerAdded not game.Workspace.Players.PlayerAdded.
Oh....... Okay, weird no one has said anything about it.
