How to make a text label set to local players name?
It's going to be a single-player game and I'm trying to make the surface GUI on a door be set to local players name but it isn't working
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = player

Can you include your script? Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

If its a single player game you can just get all the players in the game(1) and chose the first player(you), so it might look like this
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() surfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = players[1].Name

would this go into a script inside the surface gui? Fervantpigeon47 31 — 4y

if you put this inside the surface gui you would slightly tweak it to look like 'script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = players[1].Name' jediplocoon 877 — 4y

that is what i did but it seems to not work for some reason as a server script and there are no errors Fervantpigeon47 31 — 4y

you can't use LocalPlayer in a server script. killerbrenden 1537 — 4y
