How to change text to text with player's name?
I'm currently trying to edit a TextLabel with a script. In the script, I'm trying to change the text of the label so that it is a certain line of text and then the name of the player. Example: "Welcome to the game, name of player!" I have no knowledge of how to do this so I need help on how to create the script.

You could get the player's name via the `LocalPlayer` of a LocalScript. Then, using concatenation, you set the TextLabel's text to something like `TL.Text = 'Hello ' .. LocalPlayer.Name`. As to getting the LocalPlayer, here's a link to the Dev Hub. https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/property/Players/LocalPlayer TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 5y

I did that but the text doesn't change. Is it because I'm on studio or is it something with the script? DankterPepper 18 — 5y

`..` is concatenation. https://www.lua.org/pil/3.4.html TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 5y
