Player GUI text not updating when PlayerAdded is triggered

[JuanGamerPlayz_RBLX (Juan)]

Issue Description:

I am experiencing an issue with the UserTitle.Text field within my GUI does not update correctly when a new player joins the game. The script is supposed to update the text to reflect the player’s name and UserId, but the text remains unchanged.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a GUI with a UserTitle TextLabel inside a UserIDOverlayScreen Frame within the PlayerGui.
2. Use a LocalScript that listens for the PlayerAdded event and updates the UserTitle.Text to display the player’s name and UserId.
3. When a new player joins, the text does not update as expected.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local UserIDOverlayScreen = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("UserIDOverlayScreen")
local UserTitle = UserIDOverlayScreen:WaitForChild("UserTitle")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	UserTitle.Text = player.Name .. " (" .. player.UserId .. ")"
end)

Expected Behavior

When a new player joins, I expect the UserTitle.Text to update with the player’s name and UserId, e.g., PlayerName (12345678)

iirc playeradded isnt called on the client

I forgot to mention that I tried doing it with LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded too, and both remain giving me the text as “Label”…

Yeah because the character could have loaded before the event could have been called, so you need to also check if player.Character ~= nil then do whatever

Okay, I refined a bit of the script using a local function following up on this context and it worked

Bizarre that back in the day, it would’ve worked fine, but I believe that my brain went to an outdated moment and forgot that some features existed so the character loads faster

Well, thank you for telling me. I will mark this as a resolve so it can be closed
