Im trying to make this a updating level script, it does not update, everything is defined properly?

this is my script

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print("player defined")
local stats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
print("Leaderstats Loaded")
local function UpdateTextLabel()
	
	script.Parent.Text = "Level: "..stats.Level.Value.." XP: "..stats.Exp.Value.." / "..stats.MaxExp.Value
end
print("Function loaded")
print(script.Parent.Text)
local level = stats.Level
local MaxExp = stats.MaxExp
local Exp = stats.Exp
print("leaderstats defined")

level:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(UpdateTextLabel())

MaxExp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(UpdateTextLabel())

Exp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(UpdateTextLabel())

im trying to make a level up gui but it is not updating, any suggestions or tips to make it work? thanks

Hello there.

The problem is that you called the function while connecting it to a function. To fix this, remove the "()" after the function's name.

Here's your fixed script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print("player defined")
local stats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
print("Leaderstats Loaded")

local function UpdateTextLabel()
	script.Parent.Text = "Level: "..stats.Level.Value.." XP: "..stats.Exp.Value.." / "..stats.MaxExp.Value
end

print("Function loaded")
print(script.Parent.Text)
local level = stats.Level
local MaxExp = stats.MaxExp
local Exp = stats.Exp
print("leaderstats defined")


level:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(UpdateTextLabel)

MaxExp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(UpdateTextLabel)

Exp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(UpdateTextLabel)
