I'm fairly sure this is a problem with things not loaded while the script is running. how do I fix it though?

LocalScript in PlayerGui.MainGui.MainFrame

game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local n1 = script.Parent.N1
local n2 = script.Parent.N2
local n3 = script.Parent.N3
local enabled1 = false
local enabled2 = false
local enabled3 = false
workspace.NotifStorage.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if enabled1 == false then
		enabled1 = true
		n1.Visible = true
		n1.n1Text.Text = child.Text
		wait(5)
		n1.Visible = false
		enabled1 = false
		child:Destroy()
	elseif enabled2 == false then
		enabled2 = true
		n2.Visible = true
		n2.n2Text.Text = child.Text
		wait(5)
		n2.Visible = false
		enabled2 = false
		child:Destroy()
	elseif enabled3 == false then		
		enabled3 = true
		n3.Visible = true
		n3.n3Text.Text = child.Text
		wait(5)
		n3.Visible = false
		enabled3 = false
		child:Destroy()
	end
end)

the textlabel created upon joining does not get destroyed. only if i duplicate it

Script in workspace

local ns = workspace.NotifStorage
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	local tl = Instance.new("TextLabel", ns)
	tl.Text = plr.Name.." joined."
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(playerLeft)
	wait(1)
	local tl = Instance.new("TextLabel", ns)
	tl.Text = playerLeft.Name.." left."
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
		character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
			wait(1)
			local tl = Instance.new("TextLabel", ns)
			tl.Text = character.Name.." died."
		end)
	end)
end)

(the textlabel is used to store a string, don't ask why i didn't use a stringval)

I won't ask why you didn't use a StringValue... but why didn't you use a remote event? :p Also, have you tried adding a print "Line #xx was reached!" in some key places in your code to determine if the events are firing, your function is being called, the execution enters one of the if blocks, ext? Finally, in build mode can you manually change n1's Visibility and it shows up?

i have no idea how to use remoteevents; FE is off. If I duplicate the TextLabel, the gui shows up perfectly. It's just upon joining that it doesn't work. I'll try adding prints.

To perfect game development, you would need FE. It keeps off the exploiters after all and gives you a better chance to work with Remote Events and local scripts better.
