Is there a way to access the players from a localscript?

I have this part of a script

for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
	fram:Clone().Parent = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chat.back
	updateOldMsg(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chat.back)
end

but it doesn't work, the entire script but that part works fine

Well on line 2, you said "fram:Clone()" if that's just the name, ok, but it looks like you misspelled "frame". Maybe that's the problem instead of the players?

I think you did your looping wrong.

Try

players = game.Players:GetChildren()

for i,v in pairs(players) do
    fram:Clone().Parent = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chat.back
    updateOldMsg(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chat.back)
end

All players or just one? If just one, use LocalPlayer.
