Text Label not Updating?
I'm trying to make a button that gives you clicks when you click it. I have a Text Label to show how many clicks I have
This is a LocalScript:
local button = script.Parent -- Button that is clicked
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local number = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Number -- textlabel (the text is a number)
local value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Clicks.Clicks -- intvalue
value.Value = value.Value + 1
number.Text = (value.Value)
end)
The Scripts works, but the text label won't update when the name changes. This is probably because im doing this with a text label or that im changing the name instead of making a leaderstat, but if you have any answers please help.

The problem is that when you game initializes, the contents of StarterGui go to the PlayerGui, wich in the explorer is under game.Players.UserName.PlayerGui. Since you're on a local script, you can access the player using game.Players.LocalPlayer. Here is your script fixed:
local button = script.Parent -- Button that is clicked
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local number = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Number -- textlabel (the text is a number)
local value = player.Clicks.Clicks -- since i defined player above then we can make this line shorter
value.Value = value.Value + 1
number.Text = (value.Value)
end)
Hope this fixed your problem!
