My script compiles but doesn't do anything, help?
I've written 3 different scripts; 2 of which are working. I seperated them because of some issues I was having with the onTouched function and it repeating and whatnot. Anyways, that's not the point; My third script compiles, and prints the success message into the outbox, but isn't really doing it's job. Here it is.
local f = true
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function()
game.StarterGui:WaitForChild("TalkingGui")
if f == true
then
f = false
wait(10)
game.StarterGui.TalkingGui.TextLabel.Text = "Woah...W-What in the world was that?"
wait(3)
game.StarterGui.TalkingGui.TextLabel.Text = "Maybe I should get out of here..."
wait(3)
game.StarterGui.TalkingGui.TextLabel.Text = " "
print("Talking successful!")
wait(10)
f = true
end
end)

Ahh, I see your issue. It is doing its job that you assigned it, which is changing a GUI's text located in StarterGui. For it to change the player's GUI, you have to go inside the PlayerGui. The following solution is assuming this game isn't FilteringEnabled:
local f = false -- just so it won't confuse me
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) and f == false then -- Checks if it's a player. You can look
on the wiki for a little more explanation
local f = true
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
wait(10)
plr.PlayerGui.TalkingGui.TextLabel.Text = "Woah...W-What in the world was that?"
wait(3)
plr.PlayerGui.TalkingGui.TextLabel.Text = "Maybe I should get out of here..."
wait(3)
plr.PlayerGui.TalkingGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
print("Talking Successful!")
wait(10)
f = false
end
end)
Any questions? Be sure to comment!

Thanks! This did fix the issue. I forgot about the player gui thing. clalexander 40 — 9y
