script wont update textlabel in localplayer.playergui but it does in startergui why?
Hello, I am trying to make game where you find endings and it counts up how many you have on an gui. I put in script on part touched it goes to playergui and updates text there from 0/13 found to 1/13 found. It worked in startergui it updated the text but when i put it to playergui it doesnt do nothing.
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EndingGui.Menu.Easyendings.oo13.Text = "1/13 found"
end
end)

LocalPlayer can NOT be accessed via server-side.
It is the LocalPlayer of the client but since a script is not a client script, it obviously doesn't work
You can use GetPlayerFromCharacter()
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) -- It gets a model and gets the player of the character
if player then
player.PlayerGui.Ending.Text = '1/13 found' -- I think you mean text
end
end
end)
It is really unnecessary to go like script.Parent until it reaches game and do .Players.
You can easily use game.Players
