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

My GUI script will only work in Studio and not in the Player, How can I fix this?

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
Questions? Concerns? Make sure to ask!
Replace "StarterGui" with "PlayerGui", when dealing with LocalPlayers you don't access them via "StarterGui" but with "PlayerGui".
