I am trying to make a script where it will update the gui to the user's username

username = NEED HELP HERE
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
header = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Backpack.Backpack.Header.Header

if header.Visible == true then
    header.Text = " "..player
end

So i am trying to figure out how to "get" the users username...

Thanks in advanced.

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
playerGui = player.PlayerGui
username = player.Name
header = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Backpack.Backpack.Header.Header

if header.Visible == true then
    header.Text = username
end

@iRzPWNzr that wouldnt work. he wants to get the username, but your asking him to input a username jbjgang2 37 — 10y

Players.Player1.PlayerGui.Backpack.Backpack.Header.Header.L:7: attempt to concatenate global 'playergui' (a userdata value) TwoSlhue 5 — 10y

should be fixed jbjgang2 37 — 10y

Hi, I think this would help:

PlayerToolGUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui --You can't name something after an official function, so I made it PlayerToolGUI
header = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Backpack.Backpack.Header.Header

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    repeat wait()until player.Character
    if player.Name=="InsertPlayerNameHere" then
    if header.Visible == true then
        header.Text = " "..player
end
    end
end)

Edit away to your desire.

That only cache's if the player has "InsertPlayerNameHere" i want it to get the actual players name. TwoSlhue 5 — 10y
