My prison status GUI refuses to change. Why won't this loop work?
I have a prison game, where there is a GUI at the top that shows the current status of the prison. I made a loop to have it change after a specific amount of time, but the text does not change at all. Any idea why? This script is in ServerScriptService.
01 | local Status = game.StarterGui.StatusGUI.Status.Status.Text |
02 |
03 | while wait(0) do |
04 | Status = "Hygiene Time" |
05 | wait(90) |
06 | Status = "Fitness Time" |
07 | wait(120) |
08 | Status = "Breakfast Time" |
09 | wait(90) |
10 | Status = "Fitness Time" |
11 | wait(120) |
12 | Status = "Morning Roll-Call" |
13 | wait(90) |
14 | Status = "Cell Searches" |
15 | wait(90) |

while wait(0) do is not the correct way to do a while loop. Also, if you reference properties in the variable, it will think it is a child of the gui object.
01 | local Status = game.StarterGui.StatusGUI.Status.Status |
02 |
03 | while true do |
04 | Status.Text = "Hygiene Time" |
05 | wait(90) |
06 | Status.Text = "Fitness Time" |
07 | wait(120) |
08 | Status.Text = "Breakfast Time" |
09 | wait(90) |
10 | Status.Text = "Fitness Time" |
11 | wait(120) |
12 | Status.Text = "Morning Roll-Call" |
13 | wait(90) |
14 | Status.Text = "Cell Searches" |
15 | wait(90) |
