Any hints on how to get player's name onto a text label?
I have a text label on my custom health bar, and I want the text label to display the player's name when they spawn in. I also noticed that the text label doesn't have a PlayerAdded event, so I'm also trying to figure out how to fire it when players join.
I'm not asking you to write the script out for me, but if you lead me in the right direction then that would be great.

All scripts dealing with GUIs should be local scripts.
So now that you're using a local script, we can get the Local Player,
--Local Script local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
And only the Players Service has the Player Added event.
Now make a variable for the TextLabel,
--Local Script local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local TextLabel = plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.TextLabel
Now set the text,
--Local Script local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local TextLabel = plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.TextLabel TextLabel.Text = plr.Name
Good Luck!
