It is located under the Player instance within the Players service and serves as the location for running client-side scripts When a player joins the game, all UI elements from the StarterGui service are copied into their PlayerGui once and only once. The LocalScripts inside this container run on the client associated with that player. Since UI elements are shown from PlayerGui, and not from StarterGui, you need to access PlayerGui, not StarterGui, to manage UI during gameplay as follows: ## Properties ## Methods ## Events --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
