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!
Are you using a Local Script?
Yes, and it's working now.

Weird...it doesn't work for me.
try adding a wait and make sure this is in a local script in the starterGui folder
It worked! Thank you.
