game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)
local plrs = game.Players
local serverMax = plrs.MaxPlayers
local template = script.Parent.Template
local list = script.Parent
for i = 0, serverMax do
local label = template
label.Name = i
end
while wait() do
for i, label in pairs(list:GetChildren()) do
if label:IsA("TextLabel") then
if plrs:GetChildren()[i] then
label.Text = "-["..plrs:GetPlayers()[i].Name.."]"
else
label.Text = "-[Loading]"
end
end
end
end
It only creates one because you’re not cloning it. On top of that, make sure to set the parent after you’ve named the Label if you want it to appear properly.
for i = 1, serverMax do
local label = template:Clone()
label.Name = i
label.Parent = template.Parent
end
Outside of that specific issue under the assumption this is a custom PlayerList I wouldn’t recommend running a loop constantly getting the players. Have you possibly tried something along the lines of editing a desired TextLabel whenever a player leaves or joins the game?
Ok, this is really bad scripted, it has a lot of glitches and errors.
Here’s how to fix the TextLabel not appearing:
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)
local plrs = game.Players
local serverMax = plrs.MaxPlayers
local template = script.Parent.Template
local list = script.Parent
for i = 0, serverMax do
local label = template:Clone()
label.Name = i
label.Parent = list
end
while wait() do
for i, label in pairs(list:GetChildren()) do
if label:IsA("TextLabel") then
if plrs:GetChildren()[i] then
label.Text = "-["..plrs:GetPlayers()[i].Name.."]"
else
label.Text = "-[Loading]"
end
end
end
end
You have to Copy/Clone the TextLabel, not just change it’s parent.
Let’s say that there’s 10 people in the server. How is possible for 1 TextLabel to show 10 times?
Here’s how I’d achieve this, bare in mind you don’t have to use a “Hint” instance, I did for the sake of simplicity.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = localPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local hint = Instance.new("Hint")
hint.Text = "Players: "
hint.Parent = playerGui
local starterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
starterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
hint.Text..=" "..player.Name.." |"
end
local function onPlayerRemoving(player)
hint.Text = hint.Text:gsub(" "..player.Name.." |", "")
end
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerRemoving)
for _, arrayPlayer in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
onPlayerAdded(arrayPlayer)
end
I’m not wanting to clone it though. I have 8 textlabels with slots that are supposed to be filled before the game starts. How do I do this with already existing textlabels?
