Why is this not changing the colour and text of this Gui?
I've finally gotten a label system to work, however, I'm now encountering a new snag -- it's not wanting to change the text and colour. I've currently got this snippet of the script to examine:
local objname = mouse.Target.Parent.Name
if objname == "Wall1" then
local objtru = objname == "Wall1"
gui3.Text.Text = "Mud Wall"
gui3.Text.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(158, 158, 158)
gui3.Text.Visible = objtru
wait(.3)
end
This isn't the full script of course, but it should be enough. This is all inside of a local script. The function holding this activates whenever the mouse moves. The line gui3.Text.Visible = objtru activates perfectly fine, meaning that this code block in the if runs.
I see no reason why it won't change the text or the colour.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to finding out why this is occurring!

There are a few problems with this that I can see.
The first is in the first line:
local objname = mouse.Target.Parent.Name
mouse.Target can be nil, when you are pointing at the sky. In that case, this would result in an error ("cannot index 'Parent' of 'nil'"), so we should first check that mouse.Target is in fact not nil.
Your use of objtru is superfluous. It will always be true since it is in the body of an if ensuring that.
Probably you meant to move line 4 and line 7 outside of the if statement.
You haven't defined gui3 in this script. Probably you forgot to define it or just didn't include it in this snippet.
The Color3.new constructor actually uses values between 0 and 1, not 0 and 255 like shown in the Properties tab. Divide the numbers by 255 to get the appropriate conversion.
