ChildAdded script not working?
I made a "ChildAdded" script, but it doesn't seem to work. It's supposed to change the text of a Gui in a player when a child is added into the "leaderstats" model. For some reason, it's not working, or even detecting the child being added. I tried a "script.Parent.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)" kind of thing, too, but that doesn't work either. Here's the script:
1 | local function onChildAdded(child) |
2 | print("Script has detected a child added") |
3 | script.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui.Notifications.Play.Text = ("1"..child.Name.."added to inventory") |
4 | wait(4) |
5 | script.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui.Notifications.Play.Text = " " |
6 | end |
7 | script.Parent.ChildAdded:connect(onChildAdded) |

1 | function onChildAdded(child) --I think you put this in StarterPack I heard that it doesn't work any more so put it in StarterGui. |
2 | wait(0.25) --it waits for it to load. |
3 | print("Script has detected a child added") |
4 | script.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui.Notifications.Play.Text = ("1"..child.Name.."added to inventory") |
5 | wait(4) |
6 | script.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui.Notifications.Play.Text = " " |
7 | end |
8 | script.Parent.ChildAdded:connect(onChildAdded) |

Actually, this script is cloned into every single "leaderstats" model, which is cloned into every player model (not character). u_g 90 — 11y

Did you try the code that I gave you? SilenceCore 25 — 11y

Thanks, it works. Sorry for doubting you before I tried it. I just adjusted it a bit so that in the backpack, it detects the leaderstats model by using "script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.ChildAdded:connect(onChildAdded)". u_g 90 — 11y

MAN, I feel dumb. I needed to put it in the StarterPack... because if I cloned it into the backpack, the backpack would be reset every single death, but the StarterPack would clone it every single death, as well. u_g 90 — 11y

Use ypcall(function() --script end) SilenceCore 25 — 11y
