Joining message

[slim spindle]

I tried something but I don't know why isn't it working and I don't know how to fix it

I am using a local script

what should I use ?

[narrow gulch]

Players.LocalPlayer

[slim spindle]

Still not working

[narrow gulch]

show the code

[slim spindle]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

local function PlayerAdded(player)
    local playerName = player.Name
    local message = playerName .. " has joined the game!"
    TextChatService:DisplaySystemMessage(message)
end

Players.LocalPlayer:Connect(PlayerAdded)```

[narrow gulch]

no localplayer isnt an event

[slim spindle]

a

[narrow gulch]

u can do
player = Players.LocalPlayer

to get the name of the player

u dont need any functions
the code in local script will run when player joins anyway

[slim spindle]

like this ?

[narrow gulch]

yes

and now just add the code u had in the function

[slim spindle]

and I replace the LocalPlayer by player ?

[narrow gulch]

add local before the player

[narrow gulch]

no u dont need to replace anything

why would he do that

[slim spindle]

if I don't use the player thing why do i ad it then ?

[narrow gulch]

local scripts run when the player running the script is added u dont need any events

[slim spindle]

I am new to scripting so I wont be able to understand everything

[narrow gulch]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local message = player.Name.." has joined the game!"
TextChatService:DesplaySystemMessage(message)

[slim spindle]

yes but

[narrow gulch]

why are u using Connect

[slim spindle]

I did this but its still not working

[slim spindle]

I don't need ?

[narrow gulch]

no

u also dont need the function

[slim spindle]

huh

[narrow gulch]

how local scripts work is that every player runs their own local script
and they start running when the player joins the game
u can use the Players.LocalPlayer to get the player that is running the script

[slim spindle]

why It's not working too

@narrow gulch

you need a text channel I believe

add one inside textchatservice

you should see it on your explorer tab

use the plus button

and then reference it in the script

local TextChannel = game:GetService("TextChatService").TextChannel
