this is the code

local billboard = game.ReplicatedStorage.BillboardGui

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	local billboardclone = billboard:Clone()
	billboardclone.Parent = character:WaitForChild("Head")
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(playerleave)
	if player == playerleave then
	        print(player.Character) 
		print(player.LocalPlayer.Character)
	end
end)

output:

 15:42:52.881  RahmatHidayat2154  -  Client - handler:11
  15:42:52.883  LocalPlayer is not a valid member of Player "Players.RahmatHidayat2154"  -  Client - handler:12
  15:42:52.883  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  15:42:52.883  Script 'Players.RahmatHidayat2154.PlayerScripts.handler', Line 12  -  Studio - handler:12

If player is already defined as a player, then you cannot do player.LocalPlayer because LocalPlayer is not a valid property of the Player class.

im sorry but i guess you are misunderstanding, i mean the player.localplayer.name work than player.name because the player.name just return error

#4

That’s not correct.

Based on the error and the provided code, then player represents the local player, and hence player.LocalPlayer (the equivalent of game.Players.LocalPlayer.LocalPlayer) doesn’t exist.
