How come adding one thing break this stat text script?
this script works
for i,Data in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data:GetChildren()) do
for i,Values in pairs(script.Parent.Stats:GetChildren()) do
local DName = Data.Name
local VName = Values.Name
if DName == VName then
Values:FindFirstChild(DName)
Values.Text = (VName)
end
end
end
when i added that on line nine, it stopped working
for i,Data in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data:GetChildren()) do
for i,Values in pairs(script.Parent.Stats:GetChildren()) do
local DName = Data.Name
local VName = Values.Name
if DName == VName then
Values:FindFirstChild(DName)
Values.Text = (VName) ": "
end
end
end
Output of it when i added it
17:29:55.574 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Index.Frame.LocalScript:9: attempt to call local 'VName' (a string value)

Concatenation
If you are trying to combine the VName with ": ", then use .. to combine the two.
Let me show you an example:
local num = 5
print("There are "..num.." apples.")
This will print, "There are 5 apples." because the num variable is concatenated to the other 2 strings ("There are " and " apples").
Now for your script, let's take a look:
for i,Data in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data:GetChildren()) do
for i,Values in pairs(script.Parent.Stats:GetChildren()) do
local DName = Data.Name
local VName = Values.Name
if DName == VName then
Values:FindFirstChild(DName)
Values.Text = VName..": " --Concatenation. (Also, you don't need ()s for "VName")
end
end
end
If you have any problems, please leave a comment below. Thank you and I hope this will help you!
