local players = game.Players:GetChildren()

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Instance/GetChildren

Returns an array (a numerically indexed table) containing all of the Instance's direct children

nameq.Text = players.Name

Not being a Robolox expert I find it very unlikely that players.Name is anything but nil

Your code further suggests that assigning vlaues to those Text properties will call some function. That would explain the error message to me.

I don't think an array of players would say "Uh... We did it??" So I guess the solution to your problem is to find out who you actually want to talk and use that name.

Print players.Name and see for yourself.
