im trying to make a custom player list in a box for a developer product, so the player name is a text button so its selectable. ive never made a plr list before so i have no idea what im doing. i appreciate any help ty :smiley:

function updPlrs()
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
	local thumbnailtype = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumbnailsize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	local thumbnail = plrs:GetUserThumbnailAsync(plr.UserId, thumbnailtype, thumbnailsize)

for i, child in pairs(script.Parent.plrScroll:GetChildren()) do
	child:Destroy()
end

for i, p in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	local template = script.Parent.plrScroll.plrName
	local templateClone = template:Clone()
	
	templateClone.Parent = script.Parent.plrScroll
	templateClone.Visible = true
		templateClone.plrName.Text = p.Name
		templateClone.plrName.displayName.Text = "@"..p.DisplayName
		templateClone.plrName.PFP.Image = thumbnail
		
end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(updPlrs)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(updPlrs)

Lmk if u encounter any issues or need any explanations

-- i recommend naming ur variables better and structuring ur code, it'll make your progress 100x faster

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local template : Frame = script.Parent.plrScroll.plrName -- correct if wrong but I'm hesitating with .plrScroll and .plrScroll.plrName

coroutine.wrap(function()
    local function addToList(player : Player)
        local thumbnailtype = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	    local thumbnailsize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	    local thumbnail = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId :: number, thumbnailtype, thumbnailsize)

        local templateClone : Frame = template:Clone()
        templateClone.Name = player.Name
        templateClone.Parent = script.Parent.plrScroll
        templateClone.Visible = true
        
        local playerText : TextLabel = templateClone:FindFirstChild("plrName")
        playerText.Text = player.Name
        
        local displayName : TextLabel = playerText:FindFirstChild("displayName")
        displayName.Text = string.format("@%s", player.DisplayName)
        
        local profile_thumbnail : ImageLabel = playerText:FindFirstChild("PFP")
        profile_thumbnail.Image = thumbnail

        -- do other stuff like handle buttons

        task.spawn(function()
            -- btn actions?
        end)
    end

    local function removeFromList(player : Player)
        for _, playerFrame : Frame in pairs(script.Parent.plrScroll:GetChildren()) do
            if playerFrame.Name == player.Name then
                playerFrame:Destroy()
            end
        end
    end

    Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(addToList)
    Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(removeFromList)
end)()

hey man,
thanks a million for ur help!

i shouldve been clearer up above. the plrname is a textbox, not a frame. i’ve got the textbox in the scrolling frame.

i would say the problem is with the textbox? i want the text box with the player name to be selectable yk.

i just modified it a small bit:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local template : Frame = script.Parent.plrScroll.plrName -- correct if wrong but I'm hesitating with .plrScroll and .plrScroll.plrName

coroutine.wrap(function()
	local function addToList(player : Player)
		local thumbnailtype = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
		local thumbnailsize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
		local thumbnail = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId :: number, thumbnailtype, thumbnailsize)

		local templateClone : TextBox = template:Clone()
		templateClone.Name = player.Name
		templateClone.Parent = script.Parent.plrScroll
		templateClone.Visible = true

		local playerText : TextLabel = templateClone:FindFirstChild("plrName")
		playerText.Text = player.Name

		local displayName : TextLabel = playerText:FindFirstChild("displayName")
		displayName.Text = "@"..player.DisplayName

		local profile_thumbnail : ImageLabel = playerText:FindFirstChild("PFP")
		profile_thumbnail.Image = thumbnail
	end

	local function removeFromList(player : Player)
		for _, child in pairs(script.Parent.plrScroll:GetChildren()) do
			if child.Name == player.Name then
				child:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end

	Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(addToList)
	Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(removeFromList)
end)

i tinkered around and got something going but i have this error on this line:

image
templateClone.displayName.Text = "@"..p.DisplayName

local template = script.Parent.plrScroll.plrName
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")

function updPlrs()

	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local thumbnailtype = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumbnailsize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420


for i, child in pairs(script.Parent.plrScroll:GetChildren()) do
	child:Destroy()
end

for i, p in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local thumbnail = plrs:GetUserThumbnailAsync(p.UserId, thumbnailtype, thumbnailsize)

	local templateClone = template:Clone()

	templateClone.Parent = script.Parent.plrScroll
	templateClone.Visible = true
		templateClone.Text = p.Name
		templateClone.displayName.Text = "@"..p.DisplayName
		templateClone.PFP.Image = thumbnail

end
end

updPlrs()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(updPlrs)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(updPlrs)
