Why is Textlabel.Text not changing?

Asked by

local fluffing = game.Workspace.Sounds["Fluffing A Duck"]
local textSound = game.Workspace.Sounds["OneShot - Text"]
local Dialogue = game.StarterGui.Dialogue.TextLabel

fluffing:Play()

Dialogue.Text = "Dad: Alrighty son, it's time for bed."
wait(4)
textSound.Playing = true
Dialogue.Text = "Dad: No! You cannot watch another episode of Two Piece!"
wait(4)
textSound.Playing = true
Dialogue.Text = "Dad: No son, c'mon go take your medication and go to bed..."
wait(4)
textSound.Playing = true
Dialogue.Text = "Task: Take your medication."

The Textlabel's text wont change on screen as told to in script, everything else works and runs smoothly, anyone know why?

Thanks in advance!

This might work but I am not sure because I haven't scripted text labels in a while. Change line 3 to: local Dialogue = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Dialogue"):FindFirstChild("TextLabel") MarcTheRubixQb 153 — 2y

I am going to take a guess and say that you don't have the script in the Dialogue ScreenGui. When experimenting with this, I found that a simple way to change fix the text not changing is by parenting the script to the Dialogue ScreenGui and change line 3 to:

local Dialogue = script.Parent.TextLabel

or something like that.

There may be other methods to fix this, but this was the first one I came up with.
