My gui doesn't clone in the player gui when loading into the game. What's going on with my code?
The title explains it all. I can't figure out why the loading screen doesn't load into the player's gui when loading into the game. Can someone help?
function onPlayerEnter()
local gui = script.Parent.Gui.LoadingGui
local playergui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
gui:Clone().Parent = playergui
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerEnter)

So basically the script gives the new player the loading gui? You can just place the gui inside StarterGui and set ResetOnSpawn to false hellmatic 1523 — 6y

The server shouldn't be manipulating the PlayerGui. Use a RemoteEvent to do so and a LocalScript to show or clone the gui.
The Client shouldn't be checking for a player to join either. Instead use a RemoteEvent for this.
Either solution should solve your issue.

What it looks like you're doing is trying to call LocalPlayer through what looks like a server script. What you should do is use the "Player" argument of the PlayerAdded function.
function onPlayerEnter(player)
local gui = script.Parent.Gui.LoadingGui
local playergui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
gui:Clone().Parent = playergui
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerEnter)

Try function onPlayerEntered() or convert it to a ServerScript.
