What should I use to activate a script when a player joins?

#1

I wanted to know this when making my game. I want it so that when a player joins, it activates a script. Here is my script:

wait(7)
DialogueText.Text = "You: Who are you?"
wait(5)
DialogueText.Text = "Hermit: My name is not important. You must take this sword."
wait(5)
DialogueText.Text = "You: What's it for?"
wait(5)
DialogueText.Text = "Hermit: You must defeat Xethoth, the Ultimate Destroyer!"
wait(5)
DialogueText.Text = "You: Will it be hard?"
wait(5)
DialogueText.Text = "Hermit: Almost impossible."
wait(3)
DialogueText.Text = "You: Wait, hold on–"
wait(3)
DialogueText.Text = "Hermit: Goodbye!"
wait(5)
DialogueText.Text = "You: Really?"
wait(6)
DialogueText.TextSize = 23
DialogueText.Text = "SUBTERRAINIA"

Could you help me? I’m using a localscript BTW.

If this is a LocalScript, you can put it in StarterPlayerScripts (under StarterPlayer). Code in that container automatically executes after the client loads into the game and client-side elements are an appropriate fit for there.

Ok. But It’s a gui script, and I don’t think it would run correctly in StarterPlayerScripts.

#4

LocalScripts in Guis will also run after Guis from StarterGui are added to the player, so it’s appropriate to leave the script in the Gui and it will still run.

I don’t feel like I have the full circumstances of what you want to do here. Could you provide more information and why you’d need to check when a player joins? Client doesn’t need to do that. What does your explorer look like, or is there any other code relevant to this problem?

So I’m trying to make it a conversation between two people. I’m using a Textlabel with a localscript in it, which is the one we’re talking about. I want to make the script run when a player joins.

do what lesser suggested
just have it enabled in the gui, itll run when the gui loads.
