Why will a piece of text not change if a value linked to it via script changes?
What I would like to know:
A. Why this happens
B. Ways to fix it
C. Is there anything I should remember about changing text using constantly changing values
My Script:
01 | local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") |
02 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
06 | local kills = game.Players[player.Name].leaderstats.Kills.Value |
07 | local deaths = game.Players[player.Name].leaderstats.Deaths.Value |
08 | local killsVal = game.Players[player.Name].leaderstats.Kills |
09 | local deathsVal = game.Players[player.Name].leaderstats.Deaths |
16 | player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character) |
18 | local clonedgui1 = game.ServerStorage.Deaths:Clone() |
19 | clonedgui1.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0) |
20 | clonedgui1.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head |
21 | clonedgui1.TextLabel.Text = "Deaths: "..deaths |
26 | local clonedgui2 = game.ServerStorage.Kills:Clone() |
27 | clonedgui2.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,0) |
28 | clonedgui2.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head |
29 | clonedgui2.TextLabel.Text = "Kills: "..kills |
If you are wondering what this script is doing, I made a GUI that floats above a player's head showing their Kills and Deaths. Obviously, the value is changing a lot, and I am clueless as to why the text won't change. I have tried using the following code inside the script:
01 | killsVal.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue) |
02 | killsVal.Value = kills |
04 | deathsVal.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue) |
05 | deathsVal.Value = deaths |
08 | local function onValueChanged() |
09 | if kills.Value ~= killsVal then |
10 | kills.Value = killsVal |
12 | if deaths.Value ~= deathsVal then |
13 | deaths.Value = deathsVal |
but was only lead to a bunch of errors including this "leaderstats is not a valid member of Player."
I would be grateful for any help.
