Okay, so I have a TextBox that the player has to enter text into. And then that text will appear on a TextLabel that the player cannot edit. I thought it was just gonna be something simple.. for example
script.Parent.Text = (script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)
is there a way I can make this work?
So pretty much what @bittersweetfate did, except put it into a local script:
while wait(0.5) do
script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
end
Just put that code into a local script, and you're done!
why wouldn't it be in a local script?
Because Doctor Chill Might not have put it into a local script.
Just basically do what the above said and maybe have and event that fires everytime the text is changed
On a localscript
textgui = script.Parent.Text
texbox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
textbox.GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
-- code
end)

It should be as simple as that, you just don't need the ()
well it isnt working.. im pretty sure its because the text box is wonky
are you trying to update it the instant the text box changs or something like you type and then submit?
i want it to submit
in that case you wouod need to create a guibutton. i think you should check out some of the tutorials here:https://developer.roblox.com/learn-roblox/user-interface
