You have a ‘snipping tool’ already installed inside windows if you are using one.

#13

i think you can just press the PrtSc button on your keyboard and it will take a screen shot

#14

Is this a script or a localscript?

#15

this came up in output
0:00:22.251 - Workspace.Throne.Demon King.Head.Dialog.DialogChoice.DialogChoice.Script:1: attempt to index nil with ‘Name’

it is a script.

#16

It has to be a local script since you can’t define local player like that inside of a normal scirpt.

Scripts don’t have a local player, since those scripts don’t run on a client’s machine. This should be in a local script. On another note, do not use normal scripts for gui manipulation, because what you do on the client will not be replicated to the server

delete the .Value and put the code in a localscript

#24

do you get any errors or something?

#25

Local scripts can’t run if it’s a descendant of the workspace, with the only exception being if it is a descendant of the player’s character. You can put it in StarterCharacterScripts, StarterPlayerScripts, StarterPack or StarterGui and just reference the dialog choice from the script

local playerName = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
script.Parent.UserDialog.Text = ""..playerName

local script

Script version:

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do 
      local playerName = v.Name
      script.Parent.UserDialog.Text = ""..playerName
end

try the script version if the localscript doesnt work.

The problem here why the localscript is not working is because either what @Raretendoblox said or the UserDialogText is the parent of the script and not the localscript.
