How do I get the player's name that just joined? I would like to change the text to "(player that just joined) had joined" or something along those lines, but I'm not sure how to get the name.

If you want to give the player name to the clients, you can do the following:

ServerScript

`1`	`rs:FindFirstChild("adminjoined"):FireAllClients(plr)` `--The plr variable has already been created`

LocalScript

1local function adminjoined(plr) --plr can be named anything
2    --All the function things
3end
4 
5 
6event.OnClientEvent:Connect(adminjoined)

Hopefully this helps. If you have any problems please tell.

Thanks. LawlR 182 — 6y

Never mind. It only shows for the admin. Other players get an error saying "attampt to index local 'plr' (a nil value)". LawlR 182 — 6y

Never mind never mind, I just needed to make it wait for the character for some reason. Thanks again. LawlR 182 — 6y

I am not sure what you mean. I will just give you 2 examples which may be what you want:

`1`	`local` `plr` `=` `game.Players.LocalPlayer`

`2`	`print(plr..` `"has joined the game.")`

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
2    print(plr.." has joined the game."
3end

If you wanna do this in client you may want to use the first examples.

What I want is that when a player than is an admin joins the server, all the players get a gui message on their screen saying that the player has joined, but I'm not sure how to get the player's that just joined name. LawlR 182 — 6y
