LocalPlayer names aren't displaying?
Hello there, I'm quite new to this field. I was thinking of creating a register with a Surface GUI. My attempt is to display the the local player's username when the "login" button is clicked. This is how I completed;
script.Parent.Frame1.Username.Text = ("Username:" .. game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
script.Parent.Frame2.LoginButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
print(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
end)
Username = The text label for Frame1. My expected output.
LoginButton = A text button for login.
Sadly, my expected output isn't printed in Frame1,
Is there something wrong with the concatenation and string?
Thank you.

Is this a local script? Where is this script placed? RAYAN1565 691 — 5y

Debug your script with print function. At the top add a print, to make sure the script is actually running. Make sure it's not disabled and that it's a LocalScript. User#19524 175 — 5y

This is in a local script. SW33TSTUFF 7 — 5y

It's active, I think something is wrong with the Text button or Mouse connect. I'll update soon by changing the frames. SW33TSTUFF 7 — 5y

Why do you have Text = ("")?
script.Parent.Frame1.Username.Text = "Username: " .. game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
script.Parent.Frame2.LoginButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
end)

("") works too and it makes the code look cleaner. uhTeddy 101 — 5y

But they're irrelevant, and an overuse of () make code illegible. They're not invisible. User#19524 175 — 5y
