How do I make it so it gets all the players' guis and changes the text?
local players = game.Players:GetChildren() while true do players.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = "Test" wait(4) players.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = "Test2" wait(4) end
Thanks!
Simple! But, there's two ways to do it! One way is easier to change for further changes, the other is just adjusting your above code.
Way 1) Adjusting Your Code
function ChangeText(txt) for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do pcall(function() -- "try to do the following", i.e. the next line doesn't error if something goes wrong, e.g. an item hasn't loaded yet player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = txt end) end end while true do ChangeText("Test") wait(4) ChangeTest("Test2") wait(4) end
Way 2) Efficiency!
You might've noticed that on many games, including faves like The Mad Murderer, the text usually at the top of the screen displays the status of the game, which changes text just like you're intending to do. You could do the first way a lot if you wanted, but the repetition would surely knacker you out!
Here's what people like loleris do: create a StringValue in ReplicatedStorage called "GameStatus" or something. Set its value to something generic, e.g. "Loading Game..." or just blank (this part isn't important). Then, in the textlabel, add a script:
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("STRINGVALUE_NAME") -- replace "STRINGVALUE_NAME" to the stringvalue's name function UpdateText() script.Parent.Text = status.Value end status.Changed:connect(UpdateText) UpdateText()
and in that ServerScriptService script:
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("STRINGVALUE_NAME") -- replace "STRINGVALUE_NAME" to the stringvalue's name while true do status.Value = "Test" wait(4) status.Value = "Test2" wait(4) end
Now, any script in the place can change the text globally- not that one script! This makes it easier and more dynamic, as the changing of the text depends on the client rather than the server!
Hope this has helped! Cheers :) CD
