What about changing the While loop to a RunService?

PETPWER’s solution worked, so I doubt that would work and frankly don’t want to try. If anyone else thinks this works though let me know.

You seem knowledgeable though. Why was this the reason for the issue? You can’t access the PlayerGui on the server?

Changing that to runservice is still better.

The PlayerAdded function was firing before the ui was even in the game, which is why you saw when you put task.wait() in front, it would work fine. Also, having it so anything on ui should be client sided as its just better overall for the client to control their own ui that only they will see.

The PlayerGui is something just the player can access and change. The UI is replicated to the PlayerGUI which the serverscript cannot access. Got it? Why shouldn't you change ui from the server
