alright so there is probably some extremely simple line of code somewhere that i couldn't find but i am wanting to know if there is a way to grab the ping of the actual server like say perhaps take the value from the dev console and put it on a textgui or it that is not an option then get the average ping from each player and round it up into a value that i can slap on a textgui later which i know getting a localplayers ping is possible but im not sure how to do that either

If you're trying to get a player's ping, you can simply just invoke a RemoteFunction and since the script will yield until it receives a reply, subtract the time it came back by the time you invoked the function. I'll provide a code example below...
Client:
local RemoteFunction = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction
local function GetPing()
local Start = tick()
RemoteFunction:InvokeServer() -- Invoke a useless function to yield until given a reply.
return tick() - Start
end
print(GetPing()) -- Oh, there's our ping! :)
Server:
local RemoteFunction = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction
RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(plr)
return true
end
Hope this helps! If you need any more information, feel free to ask.
