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:
01 | local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
02 | local indiUI = user.PlayerGui.Roll.TextLabel |
03 | local what = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn |
04 |
05 | what.Touched:Connect(function() |
06 | while true do |
07 | wait() |
08 | local numbers = math.random(1, 6) |
09 | if numbers == 1 then |
10 | indiUI.Text = "1" |
11 | elseif numbers == 2 then |
12 | indiUI.Text = "2" |
13 | elseif numbers == 3 then |
14 | indiUI.Text = "3" |
15 | elseif numbers == 4 then |

If you want this to happen when lobbySpawn is touched just tell me! There is an easy way to do it. Sw3atyEgirl 15 — 2y

I hope this works for you.
01 | local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
02 | local indiUI = user.PlayerGui.Roll.TextLabel |
03 | local what = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn |
04 |
05 | local timeToWait = 0.01 |
06 |
07 | while true do -- Looping forever (true will always equal true) |
08 | 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 |
09 | indiUI.Text = random -- Then set the text of indiUI to it |
10 | wait(timeToWait) -- Then wait |
11 | end |

01 | local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
02 | local indiUI = user.PlayerGui.Roll.TextLabel |
03 | local what = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn |
04 |
05 | local waitTime = 0 |
06 |
07 | while true do |
08 | local random = tostring(Random.new():NextInteger(1,6)) --math.random() is unreliable especially when u constantly select new random numbers |
09 | indiUI.Text = random |
10 | task.wait(waitTime) --task.wait() is just an improved version of wait() |
11 | end |
i just modified @Sw3atyEgirl's code a lil bit, credits to her
