How do I put a message on the screen if a certain player joins the game?

Asked Mar 13, 2016569 views3 answers

I want to make a script where a message will appear on the screen if I (Djinous) join the game. There a simple way I can do that?

EDIT: Forgot the code I already tried. There's probably something wrong with this, but I don't have the knowledge to find out what.

function onPlayerEntered(nP)
	if nP.Name == "Djinous" then
	m = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)
	m.Text = "The Commander has joined the game."
	wait(3)
	m:remove()
	end)
else
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

I find it easier to make the function and connect it on the same line, it just makes more sense when you have a script which does multiple things and end up with a load of connection lines at the bottom.

Solutions

This script 'broadcasts': "Player {PlayerName} has joined the game"

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local name = plr.Name
	msg = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)
	msg.Text = "Player "..name.." has joined the game"
	wait(3)
	msg:Destroy()
end)

If you wanted to make it so custom messages appear for specific people, like in your question then you'd do;

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local name = plr.Name
	if name == "Djinous" then
		msg = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)
		msg.Text = "The commander has joined the game"
		wait(3)
		msg:Destroy()
	end
end)

Conclusion

If this has answered your question please accept with the box on the right -> If it doesn't work (I didn't test this) then please do let me know and I'll fix it. Finally, if you want a better explanation please do ask!

Could also do instead of name, creatorId

I've already accepted it, but do you know how to also get it to play music?

This is NOT a request site.

But if you know how to code then just use PlayerAdded:connect(plr) and just use plr.Name

Added a piece of code I tried.

You switched around Np and PlayerEntered. Put Np in the parentheses at the bottom

^ Wouldn't work. onPlayerEntered is the function that the event is trying to connect with connection to provide the nP variable. The script in the question is right. There's a misplaced ) though.

function var(plr)
local p = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
p.Text = (plr.Name .. " Has Joined!")
wait(2)
p:Destroy()
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(var)
