Is my ClickDetector script setup right?
In my test/modeling workspace I have a table that when you click it, it should change the text of a screen
And, it doesn't work..
Code:
local infoScreenTable = game.Workspace.InfoScreen.SurfaceGui.Table
function onClicked()
infoScreenTable.Text = "Big Table"
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
It is in a local script
I have concluded that you can't use a click detector in a localscript

Are there any errors? Did you try printing within the onClicked function? Pyrondon 2089 — 7y

Are there any errors prior to you clicking? One which refers to line 1, perhaps? Pyrondon 2089 — 7y

For an actual locally seen part either activate FE or Place the part into CurrentCamera.
local infoScreenTable = workspace:WaitForChild("InfoScreen").SurfaceGui.Table
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
infoScreenTable.Text = "Big Table"
end)
Edited
Use a Server script.

I don't care who sees the screen brick(I know before I said screen, but not the brick) I want to have it so that when you click it it changes the text of the screen NRCme 0 — 7y

No, what he means is: Just keep it in Workspace with a server script, and when you click it the text just changes for everyone. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 7y

Try using this one :P this script is made to be a script thats inside the brick
local Detector = script.Parent -- The part where the clickdetector is inside
local infoScreenTable = workspace:WaitForChild("InfoScreen").SurfaceGui.Table -- The location of the screen
Detector.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(plr) -- Plr is the player thatclicks it
infoScreenTable.Text = "Big Table"
end)
I hope this worked for you!

Yes , it is but make sure that your event handler setup like this in case you want only certain players to see the text:
function onClick(player) infoScreenTable.Text = "Big Table" end

That won't make it work for only one player. The script will need to be a LocalScript. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 7y
