Text not changing to player’s name. This is in a LocalScript.

local menu = script.Parent
local loading = menu.LoadingText
local play = menu.Play
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local nametext = menu.TitleFrame.Name.Text

nametext = plr.Name

There is more script below this
 but not relevant to my problem.
 I tried searching the issue on 
google, but no results. I got this
 error in the output:  
"attempt to index string with 'Text' ..."

Try this:

local nametext = menu.TitleFrame.Name

nametext.Text = plr.Name

instead of

local nametext = menu.TitleFrame.Name.Text

nametext = plr.Name

EDIT: Nevermind, the script probably thinks you’re getting a property called Name, do:

local nametext = menu.TitleFrame:WaitForChild("Name")

nametext.Text = plr.Name

Ha, yes it did think that it was a property! It works now! Thanks very much for your help!

nametext.Text = plr.Name

The reason this happened is because you assigned the current value of the property named “Text” of the “Name” label to the variable named “nametext” as such when you next assigned a value to the variable named “nametext” you were just overriding the previous value which was written their & not changing the value of the property named “Text” of the label named “Name”.
