Attempt to reach GUI through Workspace, not working?

This is not working. I understand it's repetitive, but I just learned how to do this and I cannot do it right no matter what I try. Can anyone help? Thank you!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- Put this script in workspace
wait(3)
print("Player Has Entered Server")  -- Every time a player's entered this prints.
plr:WaitForDataReady("StarterGui").INTRO.IS.Visible = true
wait(3) 
plr:WaitForDataReady("StarterGui").INTRO.IS.Visible = false
plr:WaitForDataReady("StarterGui").INTRO.QFA.Visible = true 
wait(3) 
plr:WaitForDataReady("StarterGui").INTRO.IS.Visible = true 
wait(3) 
plr:WaitForDataReady("StarterGui").INTRO.IS.Visible = false

end)

The WaitForDataReady() function is for DataPersistence, which is a semi-outdated service for storing player data. This is not likely what you're trying to access. StarterGui is the service used for cloning GUIs into players when they join. If you want to edit a player's GUI after they have joined, you should edit the GUI in their PlayerGui. Here is the fixed code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- Put this script in workspace
wait(3)
print("Player Has Entered Server")  -- Every time a player's entered this prints.
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = true
wait(3) 
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = false
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.QFA.Visible = true 
wait(3) 
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = true 
wait(3) 
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = false

end)

WaitForDataReady Is still useful , I remeber answering a question like this because part of the question is from some old answer of mine. HexC3D 830 — 10y

I don't realize why this keeps getting downvoted. I'm explaining why the original script went wrong, as well as providing a fixed version. MrFlimsy 345 — 10y

It's their PlayerGui, not StarterGui.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- Put this script in workspace
wait(3)
print("Player Has Entered Server")  -- Every time a player's entered this prints.
repeat wait() until plr:findFirstChild("PlayerGui")
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = true
wait(3) 
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = false
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.QFA.Visible = true 
wait(3) 
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = true 
wait(3) 
plr.PlayerGui.INTRO.IS.Visible = false

end)

Why are you minused, something tells me someone made the mistake of using 'StarterGui' and then minused you. HexC3D 830 — 10y
