function onClicked(hit)
   
        local Name1 = hit.Parent.Name

Why do you need a player added event?

Let me guess, server script? Or is it a LocalScript under workspace?

This is an ClickDetector event. LocalPlayer is only used in local scripts, but this is a server script. Here is a much easier script if you want it on joined.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local Name = plr.Name
	local Quest = plr.PlayerGui.Main.Quests.Frame
	Question.CName.Text = Name
end)

However, if you want to keep it as a click event, it will only work in non-filtering enabled games. This would be the proper code.

function onClicked(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then	
		local Name = hit.Parent.Name
		local Quest = game.Players[Name].PlayerGui.Main.Quests.Frame
		Question.CName.Text = Name
	end
end 
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

That's about it. Happy scripting! I hope I helped.

Your welcome!

On line 4 I see you use game.Players.LocalPlayer which only works in local scripts, and I think PlayerAdded only works on server scripts (or you used Players.OnPlayerAdded instead of Players.PlayerAdded)

Workspace.Quest1(this is a model to be clicked)(clickDetector is a child of Quest1).Script( a child of Quest1)
