Despite no errors being shown in the output, this script that changes Text isn't working, help?
1 | local TextLabel = game.StarterGui.GameplayGui.PlayerInfo.PlayerName |
2 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | local UserName = Player.Name |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function() |
6 | TextLabel.Text = UserName |
7 | end) |
This is the entire script.

So are you trying to make it so when someone else joins, the text box text would change? Nickoakz 231 — 9y

You are changing the text of the textlabel in starter gui, not the one of the player,
1 | local TextLabel = game.StarterGui.GameplayGui.PlayerInfo.PlayerName |
2 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | local UserName = Player.Name |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function() |
6 | TextLabel.Text = UserName--TextLabel is game.StarterGui etc |
7 | end) |
If you change the startergui one, it will show the players name when they refresh their gui, or when a new player joins, their gui will say the old username
What I think you want to do is change the text of the player that joined textlabel, to do that you would just do this instead,
1 | local TextLabel = game.StarterGui.GameplayGui.PlayerInfo.PlayerName |
2 |
3 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)--P is equal to the player who joined |
4 | p.PlayerGui.GameplayGui.PlayerInfo.PlayerName.Text = p.Name--Change the destination of the statements for your own script |
5 | end) |
Hope this helped, if it did, accept the answer it gives us both rep!
