How to put variable in text?

Asked 256 views1 answers

Hi, i'm trying to write a script that makes a TextBox's text say a message followed by a variable.

I've tried loads of different ways to write what seems like the same thing.

local p = script.Parent.Parent.CarName

while true do
	wait()
	script.Parent.Text = (("Welcome into this ")..(p))
end

also tried:

local p = script.Parent.Parent.CarName

while true do
	wait()
	script.Parent.Text = "Welcome into this "..p
end

and:

local p = script.Parent.Parent.CarName

while true do
	wait()
	script.Parent.Text = ("Welcome into this "..p)
end

Should be easy.... any help?

is there any outputs for any of them? And also, What is "CarName"? Is it literally something to get the name of a model, Or is it a TextBox of some sort?

"CarName" is a variable.

I believe your variable is incorrect. I do not know if CarName is something inside of your game, but assume you meant CarName , then you need to direct the script to the name of this so it may add it to your script.

local p = script.Parent.Parent.CarName.Name

while true do
    wait()
    script.Parent.Text = "Welcome into this "..p
end

If you actually mean Car and Name should have had a period in front, then:

local p = script.Parent.Parent.Car.Name

while true do
    wait()
    script.Parent.Text = "Welcome into this "..p
end

Future reference: You don't need a parenthesis around your string. just doing script.Parent.Text = "Welcome into this "..p will work. I believe parenthesis work as well, although I do not use them for what you're doing.

Make sure Hierarchy is correct. If this doesn't work, just comment. If this does, please +1 & Thumbs Up.
