onPlayerEntered change text?
So when a new player joins I was hoping for it to put the players name on the text box, What am I doing wrong? Should it be local?
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
print("First stage")
script.Parent.Name1.Text = "Player:" p.Name = ""
print("Second stage")
end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

Put this in a LocalScript.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function()
print("First stage")
script.Parent.Name1.Text = "Player:" ..game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name.. ""
print("Second stage")
end)

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
print("First stage")
script.Parent.Name1.Text = "Player:".. newPlayer.Name --All you needed to do was put .. to contract the string.
print("Second stage")
end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

If you'd like to set Name1.Text to the player's name upon join, prefixed by "Player: " you will need to use the '..' operator.
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
print("First stage")
script.Parent.Name1.Text = "Player: "..newPlayer.Name --joins the string 'Player: ' with the name of the new player
print("Second stage")
end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

If it isn't printing the First Stage, the problem is likely with your event. Try changing it to game.Players.PlayerAdded MrFlimsy 345 — 10y

The only other issue I can think of is with the path of the object you're trying to change. Are you sure Name1 is the child of the script's parent? MrFlimsy 345 — 10y
