local gPName = getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer())
dxDrawText(gPName.." text", screenW * 0.2291, screenH * 0.1966, screenW * 0.7716, screenH * 0.2552, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.50, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, false, true, false)

Because each computer is processing the same code. And localPlayer/getLocalPlayer() is used to get the player that is being controlled.

Learn first what a element, table and a loop is.

 

After that I will provide you with examples, because else you will not understand the code.

If you say so, then ok here you are:

 

local players = getElementsByType ("player", root, true)

for i=1, #players do
	local player = players[i]
	-- do your thing
end
