		local name = frame:FindFirstChild("name")
		local stroke = frame:FindFirstChild("stroke")
		local avatarImage = frame.avatarImage
		local image = nil
		name.Text = player.DisplayName
		stroke.Text = player.DisplayName
		--local hue = math.random()
		--print("hue: "..hue)
		--frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromHSV(hue, 1, 1)
		local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
			image = players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(
				player.UserId,
				Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot,
				Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size100x100
			)
		end)

When a plot is assigned send the plot info with a remote event to all clients then using that you can update the sign on the client side

i sent the info to the clients, i have the signID in each sign with a designated number 1-6 however sometimes the sign would say “[Player Name]'s Plot” instead of “Your plot” for the player that owns it and idk what i’m doing tbh.

i added this to the bottom of the server side:

		-- 🔹 Fire RemoteEvent to update client-side signs
		PlotAssigned:FireAllClients({
			playerUserId = player.UserId,
			displayName = player.DisplayName,
			plotName = plot.Name,
			SignID = PlotSignID,
		})

and client side:

PlotAssigned.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plotData)
	if plotData and plotData.playerUserId == player.UserId then
		-- Only update if it's YOUR plot that got assigned
		BillboardManager:UpdateClientPlotName()
	end
end)

function BillboardManager:UpdateClientPlotName()
	for _, plot in ipairs(plots:GetChildren()) do
		local ownerId = plot:GetAttribute("owner")
		if not ownerId then continue end

		local PlotTag = plot:FindFirstChild("PlotTag")
		if PlotTag and PlotTag:IsA("BillboardGui") then
			local frame = PlotTag:FindFirstChild("Frame")
			local name = frame and frame:FindFirstChild("name")
			local stroke = frame and frame:FindFirstChild("stroke")

			if ownerId == player.UserId then
				if name then name.Text = "Your Plot" end
				if stroke then stroke.Text = "Your Plot" end
			end
		end

		local plotSignID = plot:GetAttribute("SignID")
		for _, sign in ipairs(PlotSigns:GetChildren()) do
			if sign:GetAttribute("SignID") == plotSignID then
				local label = sign:FindFirstChild("TextLabel", true)
				if label then
					if ownerId == player.UserId then
						label.Text = "Your Plot"
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
