Why wont this player added thing work?
Why won't this work? Is the PlayerAdded right? Have I used the PlayerAdded right?
1 | local plr = game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | if plr.Name == "jaxxcoolboy" then |
3 | script.Parent.Text = "The founder jaxxcoolboy is in the game!" |
4 | end |
5 | end) |

Your issue seems to be an obscure one which not even I knew about until now; when a player first enters (at least in Play Solo; not entirely sure), their name is set to Player1 before being set to the correct username. I found that simply adding a wait() fixed this.
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | wait() |
3 | if plr.Name == "jaxxcoolboy" then |
4 | script.Parent.Text = "The founder jaxxcoolboy is in the game!" |
5 | end |
6 | end) |

No on PlayerAdded you don't want a variable so instead of
1 | local plr = game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
you'll want to do this
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
a function cannot be a variable if you want it to run. or you could do this
1 | function onPlayerEntered() |
2 | --code |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered) |
And always remember to put an end) if you're doing the first one

Well, in some cases, having that variable is necessary (if you want to later disconnect the event), but in this case it isn't. Forgot about that. IDidMakeThat 1135 — 8y
