just Player.PlayerGui nothing to do with the if statement is needed. Like this:

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.PlayerGui.UI.Enabled = false
end)

The PlayerAdded function checks if someone joins the game. It already leads to the player in the Players Category. No need to try finding the player.

Humanoid isn’t a child of player, and this line in general is unnecessary. You don’t need to check if the player will have a Humanoid

You can try instead
Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui').UI.Enabled = false

You have 2 player variables. You only need 1

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui').UI.Enabled = false
end)

What’s the name of your UI? You have to replace it with its correct name of course

Try this instead. I don’t know if the server recognizes there’s a GUI there

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):WaitForChild('UI').Enabled = false
end)

what @dollychun said lol

Using what has been posted … to do that, just replace this line …
Player:WaitForChild(‘PlayerGui’):WaitForChild(‘UI’).Enabled = false

With this …
local ui = Player:WaitForChild(‘PlayerGui’).UI
ui.ScreenGui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = “Whatever you want to say”
ui.Enabled = true
