So I was playing natural disaster survival and then I survived the round and it said my name so I wondered how to make a GUI display your name so I did some testing and did not really find an answer. So I came here can someone please answer my question. How do you make a GUI display the players name. It would also be cool if you can help me display some other stuff e.g. some basic math and stuff.

If you want to get the players name have to have a local script and define the local player. Local player means the player you are playing as in the game. This is how you can define the local player:
Local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Gets the local player
Then if you want to get the name you can do:
Local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player -- This waits for the player (basically makes the game wait until everything in the player is loaded)
print(Player.Name)--This will print the players name in the output
Or if you want it in a textlabel do:
Local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player
script.Parent.Text = "Hello "..Player.Name-- This will make the textlabel's text say "Hello [Player name]"
If you are using "game.Players.LocalPlayer" you have to use a local script instead of a server script or this won't work
Hope this worked!
