im trying to fix an error in my code

[gritty berry]

can someone please help

the issue is

the username underlined in red

the ones near the bottom

it says

unknown global variabel

variable

but i have it set right here

[astral wing]

thats a local variable

it is only available in that function

[gritty berry]

oh yeah\

wait

but then moving it out now there is another error

[astral wing]

define it outside

assign the value inside the function

[gritty berry]

which function

[astral wing]

onPlayerAdded

[gritty berry]

oh ok

wait

but isn't that what i just did

before i took it out

[astral wing]

did you define it outside the function?

no

[gritty berry]

i dont think this is inside any function

[peak hill]

Just make it global

[astral wing]

defining means telling the computer that a variable with a name exists

[peak hill]

username = player.Name

[gritty berry]

still underlined

[peak hill]

Inside the function

Under the print

[gritty berry]

yeah

[peak hill]

Yes

Problem solved,

[gritty berry]

but username is still underlined

im confused

[peak hill]

Orange underline

Not an error

Just the script telling you "Hey maybe you shouldnt do that"

But still works

[gritty berry]

oh

ok

let me test\

output

line 31

[gritty berry]

hello?

[unkempt cedar]

local username
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
username = plr.Username
End)

💀

okay, Goofy guy the problem with that is that there's no player! in that scope

you cannot just ask for a player name anywhere
