How do I change the text of this text label?
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
2 | wait(1) |
3 | game.StarterGui.StarterGui.PlayerName.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Name |
4 | end) |
I've tried so many different things to change it, but it never worked. I'm using a local script because I'm trying to make a loading screen GUI kind of.

And where did you put the LocalScript? Also, I don't think using PlayerAdded event in a LocalScript is a good way to do. Afterl1ght 321 — 5y

Try puting this local script in your screengui:
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Using PlayerAdded is deprecated, user LocalPlayer instead. |
2 |
3 | player.PlayerGui.[Your ScreenGui name].PlayerName.Text = player.Name |

You should try:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
2 | wait(1) |
3 | game.StarterGui.StarterGui.PlayerName.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name |
4 | end) |
Else you should add a waitforchild function at the startergui

And I don't know how to make a waitforchild function because I am not really that good at scripting. I'm still trying to learn. iiBuilder_Boy 27 — 5y

Put the localscript inside the text
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local text = script.parent |
3 |
4 | text.text = player.name |
