Why won't my textlabel's text change or disappear?
I am trying to make a script where Text will appear when you hit a winpad after an obby saying +10 points!, but For whatever reason it seems to not work. Is there a setting that could be on the text that makes it so it cannot change? The signals for "working" and "done" also work.
Here is what my StarterGui Folder looks like Here
db = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local add = game.StarterGui.Add.Points
if db == false then
print("working")
db = true
add.Text = "+10 points"
add.TextTransparency = 0
wait(3)
add.TextTransparency = 1
add.Text = "+0 points"
db = false
print("done")
end
end
end)

StarterGui is named startergui for a reason. its the gui you get when you just join the game. So do this:
db = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local add = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Add.Points
if db == false then
print("working")
db = true
add.Text = "+10 points"
add.TextTransparency = 0
wait(3)
add.TextTransparency = 1
add.Text = "+0 points"
db = false
print("done")
end
end
end)
And yes this will work. DuckyRoblox's script was much longer and chunkier so use this.
For this I would use local script 100% so first heres your script so we would need to define player cause startergui doesnt control anything in live game so we gotta define PlayerGui
db = false--debounce
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)--Function of touched
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer--Get player Locally
local plrgui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")--Gets playergui
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then --Checks if humanoid touched
local add = plrgui.Add.Points-- defines gui for player
if db == false then--If db = false then do
print("working")--Prints working
db = true--debounce = true
add.Visible = true--Makes text visible just incase it wasn't visible
add.Text = "+10 points" --Makes text that
add.TextTransparency = 0--makes transparency 1 Visible
wait(3)--debounces wait time
add.TextTransparency = 1--Makes transparency 0 Invisible
add.Text = "+0 points"--Makes text that
db = false --Makes db = false
print("done") --Prints done
end--ends debounce
end--Ends hit statement
end) --Ends Function
Ok so basically I explained most of it and the problem accept if helps
