Script:
I am testing it so I’ve made it work with some key on pc

local gui = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("LeaderboardGuiFrame")
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function getplayers()
    if uis.KeyboardEnabled == true then
        for i = 1,#game.Players:GetPlayers() do
            local clone = gui:Clone()
            local currentplayer = game.Players:GetPlayers()[i]
            clone.PlayerName.Text = currentplayer.Name
            clone.PlayerDisplayName.Text = currentplayer.DisplayName
            clone.Parent = script.Parent
            clone.PlayerImage.Image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(currentplayer.UserId,Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot,Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size100x100)
            clone.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0.05,0)
        end
    end
end

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.L then
        getplayers()
    end
end)

Are you adding the PlayerImage object at a later time in the Gui? You could just print every children of the clone and check what everything outputs back

for _, Object in pairs(clone:GetChildren()) do
    print(Object)
end
#3

Player image is there, but in local script it says it does not exist

#4

It still wouldn’t hurt to print regardless, maybe you’re referencing the wrong object or something?

Try adding a :WaitForChild(). This happened because the GUI did not load.

I did that and added a thing called wait(5) before changing, same error

#7

Could you provide some more information regarding your problem as of where some certain instances are located in the explorer at and line of code? Or sharing the file if you don’t mind.

Please share the updated script.

Name the PlayerImage something else because it might be a sensitive name. If it didn’t work, did you create the PlayerImage using a script?

#13

I think I know now. When you join the game, instead of going to starter player gui, go to this path:
Players>Woodx>PlayerGui>…
and then find the path to your leaderboardGuiFrame and check if it is there. I suspect that it might not be there, so that means you called Destroy() on the object. Check for script where you destroyed the player image
