How to make a text label set to local players name?

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?

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

you can't use LocalPlayer in a server script.

Can you include your script?
