How do I add multiple players to my lobby?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello there, I was trying to fix my lobby that looks like the one from Fortnite. I wanna achieve multiple players being shown. I use a viewport frame for this. The error is that the other player’s parent is nil. If anyone can then please help.

Local Script:

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health, false)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.EmotesMenu, false)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Captures, false)

Instead of using ViewportFrames, why not just make a rig for each position and hide them, then when a player joins, set the rigs skin to the one the player has. But the error you’re getting means that its trying to find the players parent, which is the Players Service, so you would have to change it to find the players character instead.

May you elaborate a little, on what line the error is happening and what function its happening on. Also if your getting any errors please share them as well.

Well, I’m using an emotes system that I made myself, and it would look like when Player1 is doing an emote, Player2 on their screen would see that he’s doing an emote when he didnt do anything. (I think) Also the error is at line 179.
Also for the emotes system, the post is: Buttons dont work .

I would try firing a function, or something to tell the other client that you played an animation and replicate it on their client. Try implementing something like that.
