I'm trying to get text to pop up when I touch something, but it doesn't pop up. Why?

Hello there. When I try touch an invisible block to allow text to appear (inside of a screengui), nothing pops up. I used the on touch command, and nothing works. Here is my code:

text = game.StarterGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function()
    text.TextLabel.Visible = true
    wait(3)
    text.TextLabel.Visible = false
end)

Please help!

StarterGui will only updated when the player dies. PlayerGui will give live updates.



script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) --Defines hit as the person who touched it
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then --Checks to make sure it's a player
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) --Defines player
        local text = player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui") --Gets ScreenGui
        text.TextLabel.Visible = true
        wait(3)
        text.TextLabel.Visible = false
    end
end)

Add a script into the part that you want to make the gui pop up and put this

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:connect(function(HIT)
    local H = HIT.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if H then
        local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(HIT.Parent)
        Player.PlayerGui.--GuiStuffs--.Frame.Visible = true
    end
end)

There Ya go
