I need help with adding a variable to a string for an OverheadGUI

So I am working on a border game (so original) and I am designing an overhead player GUI to display their group rank (whether their a citizen, a soldier, etc.) However, I want the players name to appear at the end of their rank. For example;

Soldier (Player Name)

I have searched for this particular issue, however, when I try solutions they are either A) Adding a number to a string, or B) They don’t work.

Sometimes, however, they will completely delete the overhead text, or will just return it to it’s default state (just saying label)

A list of solutions that I have tried:

"Citizen".. tostring(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)

Completely deleted the overhead text.

"Citizen".. game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name

Returned text to default state.

Here is my complete code:

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local GUI = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerOverhead")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local ClonedGUI = GUI:Clone()
		ClonedGUI.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head
		ClonedGUI.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
		
		if player:GetRankInGroup(12672676) == 255 then
			ClonedGUI.TextLabel.Text = "Prime Minister"
			ClonedGUI.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.639216, 0.407843, 0.141176)
		end
		
		if player:GetRankInGroup(12672676) == 0 then
			ClonedGUI.TextLabel.Text = "Guest" 
		end
		
		if player:GetRankInGroup(12672676) == 1 then
			ClonedGUI.TextLabel.Text = "Citizen"
			ClonedGUI.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.168627, 0.176471, 0.513725)
		end
	end)
end)

I am just asking if maybe I did the code wrong for the tostring, or if there is another method. Thanks!

Not sure if this is a LocalScript or a ServerScript. If it’s a ServerScript consider doing

"Citizen ".. player.Name

If it still doesn’t work then it’s probably not a problem with the TextLabel. Are there any errors?

Hi, sorry for the late response. Your code works like a charm, thanks!
