Player's name on to textlabel?

Asked by

I'm trying to get the player's name on to a textlabel when they first spawn in.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = player.PlayerGui.HealthGui.HealthHud.BorderForHealth.TextLabel

function PlayerNameGoToHealthbar()
    plrGui.Text = player.Name
end

script.Parent.PlayerAdded:connect(PlayerNameGoToHealthbar)

This does nothing...Please help?

This works for me

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = player.PlayerGui.HealthGui.HealthHud.BorderForHealth.TextLabel
wait(1)
plrGui.Text = player.Name

I've done these types of TextLabels without the PlayerAdded event before, it seems like that's would you would do but in reality, it's this simple:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = player.PlayerGui.HealthGui.HealthHud.BorderForHealth:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

plrGUI.Text = plr.Name

Also, make sure you WaitForChild for the TextLabel, and make sure the script itself is a LocalScript!

Don't forget Local Scripts MUST be in either StarterPack or StarterGui! TheHospitalDev 1134 — 8y
