Template not Being Cloned ( Server Sided )

I’ve been trying to get a Template to be Clone from ServerStorage with a Server Sided Script, every time a player joins but it seems that the Server Script doesn’t want to Clone the Template. If anyone could help out, that would be great, here’s the script


local list = script.Parent.backgr.Frame.ScrollArea
local Template = game.ServerStorage.Template



local function plrJoined(plr)
	
	if not list:FindFirstChild(plr.Name) then
		
		local plrTemp = Template:Clone()
		plrTemp.Display.Text = plr.DisplayName
		plrTemp.User.Text = plr.Name
		plrTemp.Parent = list
		
		print("test")
		
	end
	
end

local function plrLeft(plrLeft)
	
	if list:FindFirstChild(plrLeft.Name) then
		list:FindFirstChild(plrLeft.Name):Destroy()
	else
		print("Nothing to Remove")
	end
	
end

--------------------------------------------

while wait() do
	
	if game.Players.PlayerAdded then
		plrJoined()
	elseif game.Players.PlayerRemoving then
		plrLeft()
	end
	
end

When you are detecting PlayerAdded, you are executing plrJoined(). You are not providing the player argument, which the function seems to require to run.

I recommend using a function such as

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
 --Put your code from the function here.
end)

and do the same for .PlayerRemoving

From my experience, you can’t track events using if/then statements.

Maybe instead, you could try

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(plrJoined)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(plrLeft)

I have tired both of these, but it just doesn’t work at all… Nothing is happening, not even the printing, it’s just blankness.

You aren’t passing the Player argument which your two functions require.

Try using:

game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
plrJoined(Player)
end)

and


game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
plrLeft(Player)
end)

Keep the object which has to be cloned in ReplicatedStorage where client and server both can access it

Your firing it with 0 arguuments

This function you pasted have a plrleft argument, which is nil in this case

Also look here, game.Players.PlayerAdded is a function, you cannot do like this one you did below
