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.
local Status = game.StarterGui.StatusGUI.Status.Status.Text
while wait(0) do
Status = "Hygiene Time"
wait(90)
Status = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status = "Breakfast Time"
wait(90)
Status = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status = "Morning Roll-Call"
wait(90)
Status = "Cell Searches"
wait(90)
Status = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status = "Lunch"
wait(90)
Status = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status = "Supper"
wait(90)
Status = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status = "Evening Roll-Call"
wait(90)
Status = "Sleep Time"
wait(120)
end

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.
local Status = game.StarterGui.StatusGUI.Status.Status
while true do
Status.Text = "Hygiene Time"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status.Text = "Breakfast Time"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status.Text = "Morning Roll-Call"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Cell Searches"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status.Text = "Lunch"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status.Text = "Supper"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Fitness Time"
wait(120)
Status.Text = "Evening Roll-Call"
wait(90)
Status.Text = "Sleep Time"
wait(120)
end
