The script in ServerScriptService and FilteringEnabled is on.

Part of script:

01function playerEnter(newPlayer)
02    newPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
03    local p = newPlayer
04    local userId = p.userId
05    newPlayer.CharacterAdded:wait()
06    repeat wait() until newPlayer.PlayerGui ~= nil
07    print("Setting up " .. userId .. "'s resources.")
08    newPlayer.PlayerGui.GUI.Loading.Visible = true
09    newPlayer.PlayerGui.GUI.Loading.ItemName.Text = "Setting up " .. userId .. "'s resources."
10    wait()
11    local ranString = RandomString(20)
12    local v = Instance.new("Model")
13    v.Parent = game.ServerStorage.PlayerDataService
14    v.Name = ranString
15 
16    --newPlayer.PlayerGui.UI.Main.PlayerDataService.Value = v
17 
18    local v1 = Instance.new("IntValue")
19    v2.Parent = v
20    v2.Name = "Credits"
21    v2.Value = 0   
22 
23    local v2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
24    v6.Parent = newPlayer
25    v6.Name = "leaderstats"
26    v6.Value = 0
27 
28    local v3 = Instance.new("IntValue")
29    v16.Parent = v6
30    v16.Name = "Rank"
31    v16.Value = math.floor(v3.Value/1000)
32 
33    if game:GetService("GamePassService"):PlayerHasPass(newPlayer, 993313196) or newPlayer.Name == "zZGalaxySolarManZz" then
34    local v6 = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
35    v6.Parent = newPlayer
36    v6.Name = "MVP"
37    v6.Value = nil         
38    end
 View all 38 lines...

Output: "GUI is not a valid member of PlayerGui"

Error line is 08: 'newPlayer.PlayerGui.GUI.Loading.Visible = true'

It's not working. Why?

Since GUI's are mainly client only, the server (ServerScriptService) cannot access them or edit the contents within them. To make a GUI server wide, you need to use Remote Events. You can find tutorials of remote events on the Guide section of this website, or by browsing the wiki.
