Why is this script saying game instead of the player's name?

this script is meant to get the name of the player and put it on textlabel. way=true while way==true do script.Parent.Text = "" ..script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name.. "" way=false end

where the script is https://gyazo.com/bd2a809ae81acfcc2e932a8939741aae

instead of saying the player's name it ends up saying game

The parent of lighting is game, if you put the script in startergui or starterpack it should work as the parent will then be the player!

Please use codeblocks for your code.

Also, I assume this is a LocalScript.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- accesses the player
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- waits for the character to be loaded if it is not found

way = true 
while way == true do 
    script.Parent.Text = "" ..player.Name.. "" --I don't see a point in having " " if there is nothing inside of it.
    way = false
end
