Script in ServerScriptService:
wait(5)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.hasJoined.Value == false then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.hasJoined.Value = true
end
end)
Script in LocalScript in StarterGui:
local joinedVal = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.hasJoined
if joinedVal.Value == false then
script.Parent.MainUI.StarterPack.Visible = true
elseif
joinedVal.Value == true then
script.Parent.MainUI.StarterPack.Visible = false
end
Question: Value does not set when player joins the game.
With FilteringEnabled, the server cannot access LocalPlayer. Since FE is now enabled for all games, this is mandatory to know. This means that doing game.Players.LocalPlayer in a Server Script will NOT work!
What can you do? Relevant to this answer, you can use the first paramater of PlayerAdded.
Here's the updated code below:
wait(5)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- grabbing the plr that joined
if plr.hasJoined.Value == false then -- replace LocalPlayer with our newly grabbed player
plr.hasJoined.Value = true -- replace LocalPlayer with our newly grabbed player
end
end)
If you're not using PlayerAdded, you can use RemoteEvents and the likes in order to grab the player.

LocalPlayer is nil to the server.
