Gui Script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Text = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value -- added this line to initialise the gui.

player.leaderstats.Coins.Changed:connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value
end) -- Wrapping your function like this ensure it only changes when the value changes, this is better than a while loop and is called an anonymous function.

I've defined player as a local value to match the games local player, this has to be in a localscript to work, localscripts should work fine inside of the players character, the current camera, the players backpack or the players gui.

I changed the script, as you had the Coins with a lowercase c and value with a lowercase V. I believe they should of been capatalized. Correct me if im wrong

Hey do you think you could help me with a few scripts to my game?? willing to work out a cost or something???

Hey, I need the script to now look at your teams kills, like in a round with blue vs red and I need it so blues GUI displays all of blues team kills put together, how could I edit for that reason?

In your GUI Script, on line 3, you aren't pointing to a player which is why it's not working. Make sure the GUI script is in a LocalScript and change line 3 to look like this: script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Coins.Value. I hope this helps!

Where should the local script be?? In the starter GUi, the screen gui, the text box??

AnonymousApr 15, 2014#

It just makes my character not even load now. When I click pla it just says Waiting for character for 5 minutes

AnonymousApr 15, 2014#

The LocalScript should be a child of the TextBox.

AnonymousApr 15, 2014#

It still just says Waiting for Character?? IS it just my internet??

Yes, you should either reconnect to your router/modem, restart your computer, or restart your router/modem and try it again.

Ok, it still didnt work. It has the 10 coins in the leaderboard, but 0 in the gui

AnonymousApr 15, 2014#

Nope nothing. I have restarted comp and router. It has to be the local script, cause when I removed it it worked. Is their a way to do it without localscript???

AnonymousApr 15, 2014#

Copy and Paste what is inside the LocalScript here so I can look at it.

while true do if script.Parent.Text == "0" then script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Coins.Value end end

NinjoOnline, try this: while true do script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Coins.Value end

AnonymousApr 15, 2014#

It should.

Make sure that you're testing this script online, as most leaderboard scripts don't work in solo mode. Also, don't forget to add a wait() just before the end in your while loop, if you don't it will cause your computer to run out of memory. Anyways, if it still doesn't work, is there anything in the output ?
