My GUI script will only work in Studio and not in the Player, How can I fix this?
I've made a script that displays the player's name above a local gui but it only works in studio. I've tried this
playerName = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name game.StarterGui.HPGUI.Frame.Player.playerName.Text = playerName

The solution is very simple. You see, you're editing the StarterGui. The changes work in studio, but not in a game.
To fix this, just change StarterGui to PlayerGUI and a few other things
Final script:
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Incase you need it for other needs, plus you can get the name in the line you call it. player.PlayerGui.HPGUI.Frame.Player.playerName.Text = player.Name --Switched it to PlayerGUI, and changing playername to player.Name

Replace "StarterGui" with "PlayerGui", when dealing with LocalPlayers you don't access them via "StarterGui" but with "PlayerGui".
