How to fix Text not changing with math.random and while loop?
Hello there, I tried to make a TextLabel where the text constantly changes it's number with the math.random script, which I obviously used the while loop to make it constantly change without stopping, however it doesn't seem to work, the TextLabel's Text isn't changing at all, how do I fix it?
SCRIPT:
local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local indiUI = user.PlayerGui.Roll.TextLabel
local what = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn
what.Touched:Connect(function()
while true do
wait()
local numbers = math.random(1, 6)
if numbers == 1 then
indiUI.Text = "1"
elseif numbers == 2 then
indiUI.Text = "2"
elseif numbers == 3 then
indiUI.Text = "3"
elseif numbers == 4 then
indiUI.Text = "4"
elseif numbers == 5 then
indiUI.Text = "5"
elseif numbers == 6 then
indiUI.Text = "6"
end
end
end)

If you want this to happen when lobbySpawn is touched just tell me! There is an easy way to do it. Sw3atyEgirl 15 — 1y

I hope this works for you.
local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local indiUI = user.PlayerGui.Roll.TextLabel
local what = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn
local timeToWait = 0.01
while true do -- Looping forever (true will always equal true)
random = tostring(math.random(1,6)) -- creating a variable called random. I get a random number from one to six then convert it to a string
indiUI.Text = random -- Then set the text of indiUI to it
wait(timeToWait) -- Then wait
end

local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local indiUI = user.PlayerGui.Roll.TextLabel
local what = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn
local waitTime = 0
while true do
local random = tostring(Random.new():NextInteger(1,6)) --math.random() is unreliable especially when u constantly select new random numbers
indiUI.Text = random
task.wait(waitTime) --task.wait() is just an improved version of wait()
end
i just modified @Sw3atyEgirl's code a lil bit, credits to her
