How do I fix TextLabel not changing?

Asked Sep 3, 2016301 views2 answers

I was trying to make a screengui that changed text after 5 seconds. But why It doesn't works?

Game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = ("I think I need to get out of the playground")
wait(5)
Game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = ("Find your way out of the playground")

I hope you guys can help this.

You're probably confusing PlayerGui and StarterGui

PlayerGui is the Gui inside the player, and it's what people see. StarterGui is the service that replicates Guis to the PlayerGui.

I use this in everything to change guy text.


for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- get players

    v.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = "" -- change
-- also do not put the brackets
end

Also, good luck making the playground game!***
