Why isn't my text label updating?
My script is supposed to update a text label via a string value, but it doesn't work, why?
This is the main script in my game:
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Status")
status.Value = "2 players are needed to start a game"
print("Not enough players")
repeat wait() until game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2
(This is in a while loop) It changes the status/string value as well but not the text label.
This is the local script inside of the text label:
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Status")
status.Changed:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = status.Value
end)

Are you receiving any errors in the output? If so, what are they? COUNTYL1MITS 312 — 3y

i think you forgot to change the status in the main script therefore text is not changing as well?
local status = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Status")
status.Value = "2 players are needed to start the game"
print("Not enough players")
players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local playercount = #players -- amount of players
repeat wait() until playercount >= 2
local text = playercount.."players are in game." -- you can change this to whatever you want
status.Value = text
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
status.Value = text
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
status.Value = text
end)

I figured it out myself! I found this in a forgotten old sword fighting game I made, this is a local script inside the text label:
local Status = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Status")
script.Parent.Text = Status.Value
Status:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = Status.Value
end)
